Fit2Dance and Donna Dickens Dance schools will also bring exclusive routines to the event.

Father Christmas will be in attendance on the day when children will be able to see him for free while acclaimed magician John Gordan will bring his impressive repertoire of tricks with him to wow the crowds and add to the excitement.

Cllr Simon Button, of Whitnash Town Council, said: “Our annual Christmas Lights Switch-On event brings the whole community together to mark the start of the festive season and gives a platform to some of the town’s finest live acts.

“We had a fantastic turnout last year and we are hoping for even more people to come along and join in the fun this time around in our leading community event of the year.

“AC Lloyd has been our main sponsors for the last two years and we are extremely grateful for the support they’ve given us.

“The size of the project that we undertake each year means that, without a partner like AC Lloyd, we would not be able to host an event on this scale for the whole community to enjoy.”

Des Wynne, managing director at AC Lloyd Strategic Land, added: “We have developed an excellent relationship with Whitnash Town Council over the last couple of years and when the opportunity to support their Christmas Lights event came about, we did not hesitate to get involved.

“The event was enjoyed by hundreds of Whitnash residents last year and we would like to wish everyone involved this time around the best of luck in hosting another hugely successful event.”
