The Audlem Christmas Lights switch-on took place in the village with a host of entertainment on offer.
A choir from Audlem St James’ Primary School performed on the steps of St James’ Church and a brass band performed outside Williams’ Newsagent.
There was a chance to float a candle and make a wish to raise funds for the RNLI and Audlem District Amenities Society along with a Christmas Grotto.
Father Christmas arrived via the ‘Audlem Lass’ water taxi at 6pm.
This was followed by the switch-on of a large Christmas tree from Geoff and Olive Stretch’s garden, which was sponsored this year by Norman and Trixie Bonnell to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.
Shops and pubs in the village were open late.
The event was attended and enjoyed by hundreds of people.
