A VILLAGE’S Christmas lights will be switched later this month.

The annual ceremony is being staged on Friday, November 19, by Lees cum Cross Roads Village Association.

A ‘mystery special guest’ will perform the switch on.

The event takes place on land adjacent to the almshouses, in Haworth Road, at 7pm. It will be followed by a children’s competition.

Bev Underwood, secretary of the village association, said: “It promises to be a wonderful evening and everyone is welcome to come along.”

She adds that the parish council funds the Christmas tree and contributes towards the village lights.
