Christmas Light Switch On Events, North Cornwall & Devon 2017

9/11/2017

Comments

 
One of our favourite parts of the festive season is watching the local towns decorate their streets and get into the Christmas spirit.  To kick off your yule, why not head to one of the events that celebrate the switching on of Christmas lights?  Here are 10 such events in North Cornwall and Devon for 2017 in chronological order.  If we've missed one, let us know in the comments below.
