Putting Up the Christmas Lights in Petworth November 2008

The Christmas lights in Petworth are put up by volunteers from the town.

Here are the lights being put up in New Street between the Red Lion and Artful Teasing on November 2nd 2008.

This job is done on Sunday mornings in November in time for the fair held in the Market Square in November. The lights are officially turned on by a celebrity on the evening of the first Saturday in December. There are stalls in the square and most of the shops stay open late and put on special displays. All in all it is a very enjoyable day.
