    It's actually Friday at 5pm. Our choir was asked to sing at it today so I presume the time and date we were given are correct.

    Ah, maybe a different idea would have been good but TBF it really does add a little something down there.

    According to WLR advert:
    • Christmas lights go on at 5.15pm, this Friday, 20th November.
    • Ian Noctor's show on WLR will be broadcast live from John Roberts Square from 4pm to 7pm.
    The City Council also appear to be building that outdoor coffee kiosk that they were talking about a few months ago, just beside the carousel. The carousel is there till early January I think.

    The newly refurbished Penney's is to open on 30th November.

    There will also be a Christmas market (Traditional Market – Food and Craft) in the city centre from Saturday 12th December to Wednesday 23rd December 2009.

    A lot of other Christmas events and activities (e.g. Santa Dash) around the city will be announced in the coming weeks.
