Local Boltonian, star of The Chase and X Factor Celebrity contestant Jenny Ryan wasn’t the only bright spark in the town last night as she switched on the Bolton Christmas Lights.

There was a great turn out in a packed Victoria Square, overlooked by the beautiful Bolton Town Hall, to watch the annual Christmas Lights switch on. We had a great time and we know many of our guests did too.

It was especially great to see Jenny Ryan showcase her vocal talent before switching on the lights and prompting a huge fireworks display from the rooftop of the town hall.

It was a clear and suitably chilly night in Bolton, luckily our Suites and office are located just a couple of minutes walk from the square, so we didn’t have to endure the festively low temperature for too long!
