BIDEFORD'S famous New Year's Eve celebrations now have a major rival following the town's spectacular Christmas lights switch on festivities! The huge crowds who turned out to see the show rivalled or even surpassed the annual 10,000 plus people whose New year revelry has given Bideford its nationwide festive reputation.
