Cosham Christmas light switch on event delights with choir and brass band performances - Pictures

There’s nothing like a Christmas light switch on.

The event saw the likes of the Resonate choir, Collingwood Brass Band and Charlalas perform - and it went down a treat with the crowds that flocked to the event.

Councillor Steve Pitt, leader of the council, previously said: “Portsmouth is lighting up this festive season with events designed to support local businesses and rediscover our high streets.

“Thank you to our sponsors for making these celebrations possible. I encourage everyone to join the fun and shop local this Christmas.”
