Hundreds flocked to Sutton Market Place last night (Thursday, November 17) for the annual event, which featured live singing from Leamington Primary Academy, Croft Primary School, Dalestorth Primary School, Rolls Royce Choir Group, Ellie solo vocalist, and a sing a long with Anna and Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.
There was also free face painting, fun fair rides, Santa and his sleigh, and a bustling Christmas market with more than 40 stalls selling a range of food, drinks and gifts.
The Christmas tree, lights and 3D feature lighting were switched on at 7pm, with crowds dazzled by the festive display.
