THE festive season will be switched on in Uffculme on Saturday night, at the village's official Christmas Lights Switch-on.

Uffculme is a Mid Devon village with a big heart when it comes to putting on a show.

Visitors and locals alike are likely to turn out in their hundreds to witness this year's Grand Switch-on at 7pm.

They'll be plenty to entertain prior to this, with a lantern and wheelbarrow parade culminating in Santa arriving in spectacular fashion aboard his glorious coach.

The evening will be made all the more festive with carol singing and snow - there will also be plenty of warming refreshments available.
