There will be; a pet’s corner, fancy dress, street entertainment, carol signing, a release of 1000 environmentally free balloons and a snow king and Queen will be crowned.”
The festive feel to the shops in Brassey Parade and Avenue will encourage people to stop and look at the lights and pick up some bargains in the local shops.
