Christmas in Swindon starts tonight

Swindon town centre will be lit up for the Christmas period from sunset this evening.

A traditional Cotswold Christmas fair will be held over the next four nights, which will feature stalls and a Santa’s grotto to start the festive cheer.

The free event will also include a choir singing around a 40 ft Christmas tree.
