The Headington Christmas Experience 2008
This three-day Christmas event was launched on Thursday 27 November by Oxford United star Luke Foster, who switched on the Christmas street and tree lights in Headington Centre at 7pm. The next day there were carols at the Farmers' Market followed by an Advent pageant by local schools and churches at lunchtime, and on the Saturday there was on-street entertainment throughout the day. Below is a selection of pictures.
