Well, it's done - the Christmas lights have been officially turned on, with help from Gareth the Mayor, Ken the Town Cryer, Red Kite Theatre, and the children of Hay School, who sang carols. There were minced pies and mulled wine at one end of the Buttermarket, and a low stage at the other, and the crowd spilled out of the Buttermarket and stood around the railings. A young lad from Hay School did the actual turning on of the lights, the evil Queen of Hay was prevented from smashing the dragon's egg by the Dragon Huggers of Hay, and Ken led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Gareth!
And the new lights do look rather nice.
