The switching-on of Cardiff's Christmas lights at the Civic Centre promises to be an event to remember this year, with a special appearance by two extraordinary intergalactic time-travellers.
听
On Thursday 17 November, the capital is going to have its very own Christmas Invasion as David Tennant and award-winning actress Billie Piper - stars of 成人论坛 Wales' hit drama Doctor Who - materialise from their busy filming schedule in Wales to inject a huge dose of Christmas spirit into Cardiff.
听
The free event is staged and managed by Cardiff Council in partnership with 成人论坛 Wales, City Centre Management and Red Dragon FM.
听
The entertainment starts at 5.45pm when the Red Hot Santas take to the stage to play some Christmas favourites; and the big switch-on will take place at 6.45pm.
听
Visitors can then move into the city centre for late night shopping until 8.00pm or get their skates on and take to the ice when the open-air ice rink at Cardiff's Winter Wonderland opens its doors to the public at 7.45pm.

Billie Piper says: "I'm really looking forward to kick-starting the Christmas spirit in Cardiff. We filmed a lot of scenes for the Christmas episode, The Christmas Invasion, in the city centre and I can't wait to see it lit up for real. I hope everyone has a fantastic time."
听
Cllr Nigel Howells, Executive Member for Sport, Leisure and Culture, says: "We are delighted to work with 成人论坛 Wales and I know that Cardiff will welcome Billie and David to the Christmas Lights Switch On.
听
"It should be a great night for the family and a wonderful start to Cardiff's Christmas festivities."
