West Bridgford’s free Christmas Lights Switch-On returns on Saturday, 23 November, from midday until 6 pm for a fun-packed festive day with music and entertainment.
The festive event will take place on Central Avenue in the town throughout the day, and visitors can enjoy seasonal festivities, browse a selection of food, drink, and gift stalls, and enjoy street theatre entertainment and live music.
Local choirs, schools, and community groups will be performing on the stage on The Croquet Lawn all day, followed by the big countdown to the lights switch-on at 5 pm by the Mayor of Rushcliffe, Cllr Andy Brown, accompanied by a grand finale of low-noise fireworks and live music from local performers Lady Rose Duo.
The market will showcase over 30 stalls from local and regional businesses, offering a chance to buy a range of seasonal treats to put a smile on the face of a friend or loved one.
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Deputy Leader, Cllr Abby Brennan, said: “Our annual Christmas Lights Switch-On is a wonderful festive event for all residents across the Borough!
“Come along and get into the seasonal spirit by enjoying an array of live music from local community groups who will be singing a variety of Christmas favourites, indulge in delicious treats from the stalls, and get started on the Christmas shopping!.’
