IT is just under 100 days until Christmas, but the borough council is already planning how the town will celebrate this year’s festivities.

The Lighting Up Brentwood event will take place between midday and 6pm in Brentwood High Street on Saturday, Nov- ember 29.

There will be entertainment throughout the day and market-style stalls in the High Street and Crown Street offering local produce and gifts.

The borough council is on the look-out for stallholders, sponsors and volunteer stewards.

The following day will see the Lighting Up Shenfield event between 2pm and 5pm.

There will be enhanced Christmas lights as well as rides and activities for all the family.

Local performers and entertainers are required at both events.
