Families from across the borough can celebrate the start of the festive season with a town centre party.

The Harrow Christmas Party will take place in St Ann’s Road on Saturday November 30 from 12pm to 6pm.

The free event, hosted by Harrow Borough Council, will include appearances from Peppa Pig and Bob the Builder and live music from the Harrow Steel Pan Orchestra, Dhol Drummers, and local X-Factor stars, Mitsotu.

There will also be a chance for people to get started on their Christmas shopping at a festive market.

The party will come to a close around 6pm with the Christmas lights switch on followed by a fireworks display from the roof of St George's Shopping Centre.
