CHRISTMAS will come early to Thame as it lights up the town in celebration for the holidays.

Tomorrow, Thame town centre will ring in the holiday season with a free event from 3pm.

More than 20 stalls will be available for gift shopping, as well as food and drink. Live music will be performed on the High Street and in the Upper Chamber and Masonic Hall.

There will also be a Santa's Grotto, Go-Kart rides, and a Lantern Parade hand-made by pupils at Thame's Primary Schools.

The switch will be flipped in a ceremony by an as-yet unnamed special guest, who will officially turn on the Christmas lights throughout the town.
