SANTA Claus did the honours for Barnoldswick’s Christmas light spectacular – and brought the Arctic weather with him!

Hundreds braved sub-zero temperatures to see Father Christmas round off a day-long programme in the town square on Saturday.

Santa headed the switch-on procession with his snow dogs.

Earlier, Coates Lane and Gisburn Road schools’ choirs had entertained visitors with a host of lively festive favourites, and students from West Craven Technology College weighed in with a host of show tunes.
