THE Christmas lights will be switched on in Saltaire on Sunday.

The event, organised by Saltaire Village Society, runs from 4pm to 6.15pm at Victoria Hall.

More than 20 local groups will be there, talking about what they do in the area.

There will also be local craft makers and businesses selling Christmas goodies and an appearance from Father Christmas.

Entertainment will be provided by the All For One Choir and the Cinema Organ Society on the famous Wurlitzer.

At 6pm people will gather around the tree with members of the Hall Royd Brass Band to light up the tree and sing carols.

"This is the society’s main fundraising event of the year. Please come along to support us and launch the Christmas season with your family, friends and neighbours," said Village Society chairman Vanessa Pilny (pictured).
