There are lots happening around the area so we have compiled a list of seven taking place over the next few weeks.
From the chance to meet Santa himself, grab some Christmas gifts, enjoy some festive treats and watch a fireworks display there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Will be heading out to a Christmas Lights Switch On event this year?
