A road in a Buckinghamshire town is set to close for six hours during an annual carolling event.

The Causeway in Marlow will be closed, with parking suspensions in place, from 3pm until 9pm on Tuesday, December 19, for the town's annual Carols on the Causeway event.

Residents will be encouraged to gather around the Christmas tree on The Causeway to sing carols from 6:30pm on Tuesday, with musical accompaniment by Marlow Town Band.

The carolling event is just the latest in the town's packed festive calendar, with a Christmas lights turn-on, a festive market and a late-night shopping evening all managing to draw huge crowds over the last few weeks.

Santa Claus will be on hand throughout the evening to supply chocolate coins from his grotto and mulled wine and mince pies will also be available from The George and Dragon pub.

Those wishing to access The Causeway during the closure period will be able to do so via Marlow High Street.
