Thousands are expected to attend the Warminster Independent Christmas Market and Lights Switch-on, which is taking place next weekend.
The free, all-day event will take place on Saturday 29th November, with the Christmas market open from 10am, and the lights switch-on scheduled for 5.30pm. Live entertainment will be available throughout the day.
There will be an array of stalls selling a range of products, food and drink across the High Street, Market Place, Weymouth Street and in the Civic Centre.
Shops across the town will also be open, giving visitors the opportunity to support other local businesses ahead of Christmas.
Live music will begin at 11am, with market updates and a showcase of exciting local talent. There will also be a performance from award-winning vocalist and Michael Bublé tribute Josh Hindle.
“We can’t wait to once again welcome thousands of people to Warminster with a special Christmas event for the whole town,” said a Warminster Town Council spokesperson, which is putting on the event.
“It is so exciting to have a record number of stalls attending, as well as another exciting live entertainment schedule headlined by the UK’s Number One Michael Bublé tribute – Josh Hindle.
“Exciting changes have been made – the countdown to the lights switch-on will be displayed electronically throughout the day as we look to put on another super spectacular day and show what an exceptional town Warminster is.
“There will be so much to see and do, including the launch of the Warminster Town Council Christmas Window Competition. We encourage visitors to arrive early, enjoy our town, and the brilliant mix of stalls, food, drink and entertainment ahead of the lights being switched on at 5.30pm.”
The High Street and Market Place will be closed from 7am until 8pm, with road closures in place and no access for vehicles. Buses will be using temporary bus stops. Residents are encouraged to walk or use public transport to attend the event if possible.
Public toilets will be available at the Civic Centre, Sambourne Road, Warminster BA12 8LB until 4.30pm, as well as in Central Car Park. Parking will be available at Wiltshire Council car parks around Warminster.
