The countdown to Christmas begins in Market Harborough tonight with the town’s lights switch-on.

The HFM-hosted event on The Square runs from 5pm until 8pm and will include street entertainment and live music, with the lights being switched on at 6.30pm.

The switch-on coincides with a winter food and drink fayre on The Square this weekend.

Gail Bates, Market and Events Manager at Harborough District Council told HFM the evening is set to be a great start to the festive season:
