Late night Christmas shopping in Boroughbridge tonight
Boroughbridge will hold its annual late night Christmas shopping event tonight (December 6).
About 45 shops and businesses will be open late and judging will take place for the shop window display competition, which was won last year by estate agency GSC Grays. Twenty-one organisations have entered this year under the theme 'Christmas chart hits – with a Christmas theme'.
The event will begin with the official switch-on of the Christmas tree lights in Hall Square at 5.30pm by radio presenter Georgey Spanswick and Boroughbridge mayor Sean Hynes.
Organised by Boroughbridge and District Chamber of Trade, there will be children's rides, a hog roast, mulled wine and roast chestnuts.
Boroughbridge Lions will host Santa and his sleigh and there will be performances by three school choirs from Boroughbridge Primary, Roecliffe Primary and Boroughbridge High School.
