Full details have been announced for both of Kenilworth's Christmas light switch on events this November.

On Friday (November 25) night the festivities will start on High Street, with a second event being hosted on Warwick Road on Sunday, 27.

The news comes just weeks after Warwick District Council announced that lights across the district will be on less this Christmas to save money and energy.
