WATCH: Christmas Tree arrives in Peterborough's Cathedral Square ahead of light switch on this week

Switch on takes place on Friday evening

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas – as Peterborough’s tree has arrived in Cathedral Square.

Workers battled through the sleet and cold temperatures early this morning to put the huge tree in place.

The branches will take a few days to settle into their correct position – and it is expected the lights and decorations will be put on the tree on Friday – the same day as the big switch on.

Entertainment on Friday starts at 5pm, with Santa set to press the button to officially start Christmas at around 7pm.
