The Christmas lights will go on in King's Lynn on Thursday, November 28 in the Tuesday Market Place (7pm).

There will be a fun fair and craft stalls from 4pm, with live music and a hi-tech Christmas mirror which will allow children to create pictures which will be projected on to buildings in the market place.

At 5.30pm there will be a parade from Stories of Lynn with children holding glowing and flashing homemade lanterns.

On arrival in the market place the children will sing carols alongside St Martha's Catholic Primary School.
