We have been finding out all about a big festive weekend of events coming up in the West End of Morecambe.
A Christmas market and the annual Lantern Festival are coming to the Devonshire Road area on the weekend of Friday December 2 and Saturday December 3.
The Festive Market runs from 4pm to 9pm on the Friday and 11am to 4pm on the Saturday, with music, stalls, workshops, food and drink.
Then the West End Winter Lantern Festival procession starts at 6pm on the Saturday from More Music on Devonshire Road.
