The Gate Hotel, on Main Road, has switched on its magnificent Christmas lights after covering the walls from head-to-toe in decorations.

The landlord and lady, Phil and Denise Bayliss, invited the public to join their free lights switch-on event last week to indulge in mince pies, mulled wine and chocolate.

Phil said the evening had a “brilliant” atmosphere, with the rooms filled with children taking part in the countdown.

In the newly renovated “winter wonderland”, the owners have arranged a series of evenings for families to “get the magic of Christmas started” by having “tea with Santa”.

On December 6, 14 and 21 from 5pm to 7pm, the pub will be hosting tea for children with quizzes, bingo games, prizes and music - and the opportunity to meet the big man in red.

Local man Alan Townsend has also kindly donated a variety of selection boxes for the events.

Evening entertainment of karaokes and discos are also planned for the festive season – keep an eye out on the pub’s Facebook page for more information.
