Mince pies, Santa AND carol singing? It must be tree lighting time!

With festive season upon us, the best way to start feeling Christmassy is to pop along to one (or all) of the numerous tree lighting ceremonies across the capital. As well as the lights, you will be treated to festive refreshments, get a chance to meet Santa, as well as hear carol singing. Here are some of our favourites events in the city.
