Entry gates will open at 4.30pm before singers, actors and comedy performers take to the stage to spread Christmas cheer as part of an action-packed programme hosted by Clyde 1 presenters George Bowie and Cassi Gillespie.

Doors close at 6.30pm.

The festive fun starts at 5pm with the Little Mix Magic tribute act, followed by performances from Berrie Big Band and Soul Nation Choir, with a crowd sing-along and comedy segment in between.

The Christmas lights will be switched on at 7pm, as a firework display is set off simultaneously above Glasgow City Chambers.
