The Milestone in New Invention has well and truly embraced the Christmas spirit as bright, colourful lights adorn the pub inside and out.

Manager Ryan Perrins has spent the last month putting up the festive decorations in time for a switch-on event held at the pub on Friday (November 29), which saw more than 100 people turn out.

After a countdown, the lights were officially turned on with the help of Santa and Mrs Claus, while a Dolly Parton tribute act helped entertained the crowds.

Mr Perrins said: “It was packed in here. We had over 100 people. Everything was so amazing, the kids were dancing, 'Dolly' did a Christmas song, Santa and Mrs Claus were dancing with kids and we all went outside and looked at the lights -  people were saying how amazing it was.”
