Snapped: SouthGate Christmas Lights Switch-On 2016

SouthGate's annual Christmas Light Switch-On was as exciting as ever with plenty of festive entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

Switching on the Christmas Lights was the man himself, Santa Claus! He was also joined on stage by Bath and North East Somerset Council chairman Alan Hale.

As the countdown began, the crowd got into the festive spirit and joined in, before cheering as they watched the fireworks in awe. Adding a magical touch to the night, fake snowflakes fell from the 'sky' as the lights were switched on.
