Crowds are expected to pack Wharf Green tomorrow for the switch-on of Swindon's Christmas lights.

TV sensations Ashleigh and Pudsey are top-of-the-bill for the evening's entertainment, which starts at 6.30pm.

Dancing dog Pudsey and his trainer won the hearts of millions when they won Britain’s Got Talent 2012 with their original and heart-warming performance of The Flintstones.

They will be joined by a host of town acts at Wharf Green.

Di Powell, from the inSwindon BID Company, said: “We wanted to make the light switch-on a real family show this year.

"We encourage everyone to get in early to get a good spot.”
