Big Christmas light switch-ons traditionally draw the crowds across Suffolk.
Sadly, this year couldn’t be quite the same as usual – but some events went virtual, such as the Ipswich switch-on, which was shared to get the festive season under way.
Today we are looking back at switch-on events, Christmas trees and lights, including the big event held on Ipswich Cornhill each year.
Excited crowds of children regularly turn out to enjoy the event, which has included a wide range of entertainment over the years – and a sprinkling of magical snow.
Our gallery also features other switch-ons in Suffolk, which help to get everyone in the festive mood and also get the late-night shopping season started.
