COUNTING DOWN TO BRIGG CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH-ON 2018

The Christmas lights switch-on ceremony  will be taking take place in Brigg on Friday, November 30.
We want to make this clear as an article in the latest issue of North Lincolnshire Council's newspaper, distributed free to local homes, includes a round-up of switch-ons across the district, mentioning Scunthorpe, Crowle, Barton, Winterton and Epworth, but does not give details for Brigg. 
Brigg Blog suggests that those wanting to watch the switch-on in the Market Place get there by 4.45pm at the latest.
After the lights have been lit at 5pm following the usual 5-4-3-2-1 countdown, people can visit the many stalls on the Distict Lions' Christmas Fair and visit local shops, many of which will be staying open late until 9pm for people to do their Christmas shopping.
We are pleased to learn that all the stalls have been booked.
The town centre lights for 2018 have been provided by Brigg Town Council.
We hope to see you there on the big night.
Weather permitting, there could be a couple of thousand people of all ages in the town centre.
The Christmas tills will be ringing merrily in local shops, eateries and pubs. For some it could prove one of the busiest Fridays of the year in terms of customers and takings.
