A WREXHAM pub didn't let the new Covid restrictions stop it from holding its Christmas lights switch on event.

The Stanton House Inn, in Chirk, held the event on Saturday night - with Father Christmas even being on hand to give a present to each child that attended.

And if that wasn't enough, each child was also given a free burger or hot dog and a drink.

Thanking the pub for the event, a local resident described landlady Chelly and landlord Mark as "truly amazing people".
