FAMILIES are invited to see a very special guest switch on the Christmas lights during a special fair.

The Farnworth Christmas Fair in Highfield Hall Community Centre, March Lane, will be attended by Father Christmas himself, who will chat with children and hand out gifts before pulling the switch.

The event, which will be held from 3.30-8pm on Thursday, November 28, will feature festive stalls run by community groups, choir performances, dancing and a funfair.

The event is free for all to attend.
