Cleethorpes Christmas lights to be switched on by Wizard Of Oz panto cast
There's no place like Cleethorpes this Friday with the cast of the resort's Wizard Of Oz panto set to kick off the festive season in magical style.
The Christmas lights switch-on will take place at 6.15pm on November 29 outside St Peter's Church - but there'll be plenty going on before that too. Those attending will get the chance to meet characters from Parkway Cinema's dazzling panto with the cinema also sponsoring this year's centrepiece Christmas tree.
From 4pm, the Evening Christmas Makers Market will take place in the church hall, organised by Original Emporium Cleethorpes. Open until 8pm, it will feature plenty of fantastic items from local makers and artists.

Some of the resort's independent businesses will stay open late for the festive event too. Meanwhile, there will be live entertainment including stilt walkers, street entertainers, and quite a few elves! The RNLI are set to come along too.
Part of St Peter’s Avenue, between Albert Road and Mill Road, will be closed from 4pm until 8pm so the switch-on can take place.
The Wizard Of Oz, from TaleGate Theatre Productions, is being performed live on stage at Parkway Cleethorpes on a number of dates from Saturday, December 14 until Monday, December 30.
