Festive lights have been put up across Clevedon to brighten people's spirits in the run up to Christmas.

Clevedon Business Independent District (BID) worked with local businesses to decorate Alexandra Road, Hill Road and the town centre this year.

Floodlights, colour-changing decorations and strings of pretty bulbs have been installed throughout the town to usher in some festive cheer.

Colourful lights are also being projected onto buildings across Hill
Road for an atmospheric, early evening shopping experience.

The decorations have been funded by Clevedon businesses to thank people for their support this year and to encourage customers to continue shopping locally.

A BID spokesman said: "The lights have brought a lot of positivity to the public areas of Clevedon with families wrapping up and enjoying a socially distanced walk through the magical wonderland we’ve created to spark a little joy and bring cheer during lockdown."
