00:00 Hello and welcome to our latest guide to 5 things to do and it's here at last December
00:09 and as if you haven't got enough to do at this time of year, here's 5 more things to
00:13 clutter your hectic social diaries.
00:15 Starting this week in Garstein because we always like to include a Christmas light switch
00:19 on if we can, Market Cross is the place to be on Garstein High Street for the big switch
00:23 on of the town's Christmas lights.
00:26 Starting at 6pm on Monday 27th November the switch event promises to be a traditional
00:30 family celebration with music, carols and a warm festive feeling.
00:34 It's a free event and the more the merrier.
00:38 One for the kids now because they can hop into a rabbit sized Christmas adventure with
00:42 your favourite characters from the hit Peter Rabbit CBeebies TV show.
00:47 Embark on a journey through a snowflake trail where you'll encounter hidden letters amongst
00:51 the snowflakes, unscramble the letters along the trail and piece together a wintery word.
00:56 It's a brain-teasing joyous adventure for the little ones to enjoy.
01:00 You'll find it on the promenade between the Sea Life Centre and Madame Tussauds and standard
01:05 tickets are £4.50 for adults and £9.50 for children under 14.
01:11 Right let's warm things up a little now and consider Christmas in the Caribbean via Burnley.
01:17 A series of party nights are planned on Friday and Saturdays throughout December at the Burnley
01:21 Mechanics Theatre.
01:23 You can expect spectacular Caribbean Christmas themes, a steel band, dancers and hula girls,
01:28 a festive three-course dinner, a live band, a resident DJ and a chance to win a holiday
01:33 too.
01:34 Yes you guessed it, the Caribbean.
01:36 Tickets are £45 a person.
01:39 Music next and you can immerse yourself in the authentic ABBA experience at Preston Playhouse
01:44 on the 1st December.
01:45 Sensation will transport you back to the golden days of ABBA with stunning harmonies, costumes,
01:51 choreography and a sprinkling of light-hearted humour.
01:54 This unique combination has turned them into one of the most sought-after ABBA tribute
01:58 acts in the world.
01:59 They even speak a little Swedish on stage to add to the whole experience.
02:03 Tickets are priced from £16.50.
02:06 And we finish off today with a little bit of panto because it is the season after all.
02:12 The Blackpool Grand Theatre have Aladdin starting on the 1st December through to the 1st January.
02:18 The fantastic family pantomime starring West End and Emmerdale star Tom Lister and Blackpool
02:22 panto legend Steve Royal from Britain's Got Talent is always a laugh-a-minute extravaganza
02:27 with stunning sets, top musical hits, amazing costumes and exciting special effects to keep
02:32 audiences both young and old entertained.
02:35 This year's Aladdin is truly a magical treat for all the family you won't want to miss.
02:39 There are morning matinee and evening performances and tickets start at £15.
02:43 Oh yes they do.
