Marlene Howarth, deputy leader of Hyndburn Council, said: “The Christmas Light Switch On is the best event of the year and I can’t wait to see the town centre packed again, with family and friends having fun and enjoying all the fantastic activities on the square and in the market hall.

“We want everyone attending to embrace #ShopLocal – we have so many wonderful local businesses here in Accrington and this is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate them.”

Lauren and Rachel, owners of Finch Bakery, commented: “We can’t wait to be involved in the #AmazingAccrington Christmas Light Switch On. We are so proud to be headlining an amazing Christmas Market at Accrington Market alongside so many other local businesses. See you there!”
