OXFORD'S Christmas lights will be switched on tomorrow night.

About 200 children with lanterns will parade through the city centre between 6.15pm and 6.45pm, illuminating lights street-by-street as they pass. They will then switch on the Christmas tree lights in Broad Street.

Festive activities will also take place in various city centre locations and motorists will be able to park in Oxford’s central car parks for free after 5.30pm.
