TWYFORD’S festive fun starts on Sunday, with the switching on of the village’s Christmas lights.
The ceremony takes place at Bell Corner, around the Christmas tree, from 5.30pm.
The event includes carol singing, seasonal refreshments and a special guest to push the button.
The Christmas tree, a focal point at Twyford crossroads, has been decorated with wooden baubles. Each bears a handwritten message crafted by pupils from the Colleton and Polehampton Schools.
The event takes place days before the annual Christmas fayre takes over the village centre.
London Road between the crossroads and Jubilee Corner will be closed to traffic, to allow for a winter wonderland to appear for one night only.
It will feature stalls run by community groups, residents, craftspeople, and businesses, offering present ideas, games to play, and refreshments to enjoy.
Other attractions include fairground rides, a climbing wall, and a barbecue organised by the 1st Twyford Scouts.
Father Christmas, with a bit of help from the Twyford and District Round Table, will be present with presents, and there will be carol singing, bands and other live entertainment.
The event is organised by Twyford Together, and runs from 6pm through to 9pm. Entry is free.
