The Christmas lights go on in Market Square

Crowds turned out to celebrate in Lichfield city centre as the rescheduled lights switch on took place.

With a very light and fleeting appearance from the snow the crowds cheered as Lichfield’s streets were lit up to celebrate Christmas. Many shops stayed open late with food, drink and special offers to accompany the market square entertainment and festive market stalls.
