Hundreds of people gathered in Kingston town centre to welcome the festive season, as Christmas lights were switched on and live performers entertained the crowd.

This year, the event was inspired by the wonderful world of Narnia’s The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, which will play at Rose Theatre by the end of this month, merging beautifully crafted outfits, talented acrobats and live music in a stage hosted by MTV’s Maya Jama and DJ Wide Awake.
