As announced on social media, the date for the event will be Saturday, November 26.

It will begin at 11 o'clock in the morning and will run until 5pm in the evening.

The Christmas lights are due to be switched on at around 4:15pm, according to the parish council, and that will take place at the Millennium Garden, on the junction between Common Lane and Warrington Road.

December 13 will mark 21 years since the completion of the construction of the garden, as work on the local landmark was finished in 2001 - work began on the area in September 2001, before being completed in time for Christmas.

The Christmas markets will take place 'in and around' the centre of the village, and residents can expect lots of festive cheer to be spread during the event.

For businesses wishing to book a stall, places were advertised in September at £20 each - for more information on booking a stall, contact Susan Bland on 01925 766641.

Culcheth and Glazebury Christmas markets and switching on of the village lights takes place from 11am until 5pm on Saturday, November 26.
