Details of Attleborough's upcoming Christmas Carnival have been revealed.

The town will usher in the festive season with a blaze of lights, music and fun on Sunday, November 27.

During the afternoon there will be craft and charity stalls at the town hall, church hall and sports hall and a street fair at the Town Square, Queens Square car park and churchyard.

Father Christmas will parade through the town on his sleigh with his helpers and real reindeer, before speaking to children and handing out presents at a grotto.

The reindeer will then be in Queen's Square for people to visit.

There will also be carol singing, a Christmas tree and shops hosting window displays and stalls.

The town council has asked for as many homes as possible to be decorated with their lights lit by 3.45pm to add to the effect of the display.

Visitors are encouraged to wear fancy dress.
