Tonight: Hucknall's Christmas Carnival and lights switch-on

Thousands of people are expected to turn out for Hucknall's Christmas carnival and light switch-on tonight. 

The Carnival, which is now in its 18th year, starts from 6pm, with a funfair, entertainment in the Market Place, a Christmas tree festival and a parade.

The Hucknall Rotary club, the event organisers, are expecting around 7,000 people to attend, adding that it's "the biggest event in Hucknall's calendar."

Capital FM's Dino and Pete will be on stage at 6pm and Kenneth Knight, council chairman and councillor for Hucknall West, will switch on the Christmas lights at about 6.45pm.
