Go with the Glow at Rotherham's Christmas kick-off this week
The Rotherham Christmas Lights Switch-on will take place in All Saints’ Square from 5.30pm to 7pm on Thursday.
Much-travelled folk singer Lauren (below), who set up her own recording studio in the town centre earlier this year, will take to the stage in the shadow of the Minsters to perform, as will the Rotherham Youth Choir, who made their Switch-on debut last year.
