Rhyl is always a blaze of festive cheer, and the town council is delighted to continue providing the lights and a free event to bring some early Christmas fun to the community. The lights switch on is a good opportunity to hear from the town’s Panto stars, for families and friends to come together and for us all to enjoy the countdown to the festivities.
