The magical festive season begins on Saturday 18 November at the Aldershot Christmas Cracker.
The fun starts at midday with craft, food, community stalls and fun fair rides and brass bands playing festive music.
There will be fun, free activities for families to try including crafts, circus skills and face painting.
Children can also meet Father Christmas in his grotto and visit the nativity farm.

Fireworks will light up the sky as we switch on the lights at the end of the event.
