There will also be a Christmas Market with stalls from local residents and a Christmas Arcade with lots of activities for the children.

Soul Children and JSK Dance will also be performing on stage.

Organiser Stuart Longworth, 52, aka Rudolph, said: "This is in conjunction with Buckshaw Village Church, as we have a big Christmas lights switch on. Santa will be touring the village in a less traditional way and stopping off at every park and grassy area.

"This is such a big community event and is a joy to do."
