The fun starts at 5pm when the characters will arrive to sing lots of well-loved children's songs. Visitors will also be able to take part in a sing-along that it sure to get people in the festive spirit.
The lights will be switched on at 6pm by Queen Elsa and Princess Anna from Frozen, to name a few, and for those who would like to meet their favourite characters there is an exclusive event in Experience Barnsley at 6.30pm.
