Festive cheer arrived in Welwyn Garden City on Saturday as the town's Christmas Lights Trail opened to the public.

Eleven installations, funded by Welwyn Garden City BID, are located across the town centre and provide residents with the chance to win some great prizes.

"The Christmas Lights Trail will remain in place until January 1, 2024," said a spokesman for Welwyn Garden City BID.

"This year we will be offering wonderful prizes for the best photos with our Christmas installations.

"Simply snap it, share it on social media using #WGCXmasLIghts for your chance to win."

The trail was popular with residents who where there to see the Christmas lights switch-on, and will be lighting up the town throughout December.
