Large crowds flocked to Marlborough High Street for a “fantastic” Christmas lights switch-on event.
Marlborough residents were treated to the town’s Christmas lights switch-on on Friday, November 29, with a festive market also taking place that day in the town centre.
As well as the lights, there was a full evening of entertainment scheduled.
The town council has since thanked the volunteers who made the event possible.
