Hampstead Village celebrates a bigger, brighter Christmas lights scheme with a free afternoon on the High Street. The main moment is the VIP switch-on at 6pm, but arrive earlier for Santa and his reindeer, mini funfair rides and festive food stalls.

There will be carols and performances from local school singers, live entertainment and creative stalls for children, including face painting, hair braiding and airbrush tattoos.
