Festive lights

Leigh’s community Christmas celebration, Lax Lights, is on again this year, and this time it’s moving from its usual Friday evening date to Sunday, December 17.

The family friendly event began some years ago as a straightforward display of Christmas lights and decorations by neighbours in the crescent, which lies off Wonderview Road.

Now, it has grown to a festive celebration for the whole village, with food trucks, live music, Christmas carols and a visit from Santa, before the lights are switched on when darkness falls.

Residents in the Northwood Estate, off Ashmore Crescent in Warkworth, are also getting into the Christmas spirit with a show of lights that will be on display from 8pm to 10.30pm nightly leading up to Christmas.
