Antrim Town is the place to be on Friday 17 November from 5.30pm as the Christmas lights switch on ceremony, organised in conjunction with Castle Mall, promises to start the yuletide season with festive fun and entertainment!

The action kicks off in Market Square with musical entertainment hosted by Sonya Mac from Q Radio, who will entertain everyone with games and hit music. Of course the evening wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa who will make his grand entrance with his Christmas friends at 7pm.

One of the highlights is sure to be the special children’s prize draw with great prizes to be won, including a Nintendo 2DS XL. This year the prize draw can only be entered at the event so make sure you come along and get your entry in!

A spectacular fireworks display at 7.30pm will round off what will undoubtedly be a perfect festive evening.
