The Christmas Lights Switch-on involves the annual turning on of all the festive lights in the town and incorporates the charity stall night.  Browse stalls, eat seasonal delights and watch in awe as the whole of the town lights up for the Christmas period.

This year once again the penguins will be in town from 2.00pm, reindeers from 4.00pm, but this year there will also be some donkeys also from 4.00pm.  There will be entertainment on stage from 3.30pm provided by local schools and colleges.  Santa and his reindeer and sleigh will be in town from 6.30pm.

The lights will be switched on at 7.00pm.  We also have street entertainers, and a face painter and a magician in Cornhill Walk Shopping Centre.
