CHRISTMAS officially gets underway at the Kingfisher Centre when the seasonal lights are switched on tomorrow.

The centre's cheeky monkey mascot, Charlie, along with BRMB DJ Elliot Webb will turn on the festive lights in Worcester Square at 7pm.

At the same time, Santa's grotto will open its doors giving children the chance to hand over their Christmas wish lists to the man in red. Entrance is free and the grotto is open until Christmas Eve.

A dramatic laser light show from the roof of the shopping centre will also be visible from as far as 20 miles away.
