Burgess Hill's Christmas lights will be glowing for even longer thanks to generous firms.
Donations from Burgess Hill Chamber of Trade mean the town's lights will be switched on each day from 6am rather than just when it gets dark.
Burgess Hill Town Council chairman John Merrill said: "I am delighted with the extension to the lighting scheme this year.
"The lights will bring a festive look to more of the town centre than ever before."
People are encouraged to visit the town centre to share the festivities, particularly Festival Day on Saturday, December 6.
