DOZENS of people saw Father Christmas switch the Christmas lights on at the Sunnyhurst pub, Tockholes Road, on Tuesday night.
It is the first year landlady Sandra McCarroll has been running the pub.
And she was determined to keep up the tradition which sees surrounding properties also decorated.
She said: “It was absolutely packed inside and out.
“It was a fantastic night for the community and everyone had fun.
“I thought the bad weather might have put people off but it didn’t seem to.”
Outside the pub were stalls selling festive gifts and mulled wine.
A raffle for charity also took place and the proceeds are being counted.
