00:00 Hello and welcome to our latest guide to 5 things to do and it's here at last December

00:09 and as if you haven't got enough to do at this time of year, here's 5 more things to

00:13 clutter your hectic social diaries.

00:15 Starting this week in Garstein because we always like to include a Christmas light switch

00:19 on if we can, Market Cross is the place to be on Garstein High Street for the big switch

00:23 on of the town's Christmas lights.

00:26 Starting at 6pm on Monday 27th November the switch event promises to be a traditional

00:30 family celebration with music, carols and a warm festive feeling.

00:34 It's a free event and the more the merrier.

00:38 One for the kids now because they can hop into a rabbit sized Christmas adventure with

00:42 your favourite characters from the hit Peter Rabbit CBeebies TV show.

00:47 Embark on a journey through a snowflake trail where you'll encounter hidden letters amongst

00:51 the snowflakes, unscramble the letters along the trail and piece together a wintery word.

00:56 It's a brain-teasing joyous adventure for the little ones to enjoy.

01:00 You'll find it on the promenade between the Sea Life Centre and Madame Tussauds and standard

01:05 tickets are £4.50 for adults and £9.50 for children under 14.

01:11 Right let's warm things up a little now and consider Christmas in the Caribbean via Burnley.

01:17 A series of party nights are planned on Friday and Saturdays throughout December at the Burnley

01:21 Mechanics Theatre.

01:23 You can expect spectacular Caribbean Christmas themes, a steel band, dancers and hula girls,

01:28 a festive three-course dinner, a live band, a resident DJ and a chance to win a holiday

01:33 too.

01:34 Yes you guessed it, the Caribbean.

01:36 Tickets are £45 a person.

01:39 Music next and you can immerse yourself in the authentic ABBA experience at Preston Playhouse

01:44 on the 1st December.

01:45 Sensation will transport you back to the golden days of ABBA with stunning harmonies, costumes,

01:51 choreography and a sprinkling of light-hearted humour.

01:58 acts in the world.

01:59 They even speak a little Swedish on stage to add to the whole experience.

02:03 Tickets are priced from £16.50.

02:06 And we finish off today with a little bit of panto because it is the season after all.

02:12 The Blackpool Grand Theatre have Aladdin starting on the 1st December through to the 1st January.
