NOW that the Christmas lights are on in Darlington, it is time for residents to show what they can do when it comes to festive flair.

Darlington Borough Council is offering the chance to win a family ticket to see Cinderella at Darlington Civic Theatre for the household with the most impressive Christmas light displays.

Residents are invited to send in a picture of their festive lights which will be uploaded to Facebook for a public vote.

Entries can be sent in to communications@darlington.gov.uk until December 2 and the lucky winner will win a family ticket to the pantomime on Friday, December 11.
