A COUNTY pub is getting into the festive spirit with their Christmas lights switch on and a visit from Father Christmas.

The Rose and Crown in Severn Stoke, near Worcester, has its Christmas lights switch on taking place on Sunday, December 1. Organisers are still on the lookout for a celebrity to switch the lights on. 

Landlord Andy Goodall said: "Join us at the Rose and Crown for our Christmas lights switch-on celebration. Enjoy live music, a delicious Sunday lunch from 12-3pm, and indulge in hot pork rolls in the afternoon from 3.30pm.
