AN Accrington Christmas shopping brochure will be distributed to around 125,000 shoppers.

The colourful, glossy guide contains information about Christmas shopping in the town, including late night opening times, details of free parking and the latest information about the seasonal markets.

It also contains everything residents need to know about the Christmas lights switch on which takes place on November 14 at 6.30pm when late night shopping in Accrington begins.

Brochures will be distributed to every household in Hyndburn. The guide will also be available from the Information Centre in Accrington Town Hall, the Market and the Arndale Centre.
