West Bridgford’s free Christmas Lights Switch On returns on Saturday November 23 from midday until 6pm for a fun packed festive day with music and entertainment.
The festive event sponsored by Carefound Home Care in West Bridgford 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, street theatre entertainment and live music.
Local choirs, schools and community groups will be performing on the stage on The Croquet Lawn all day long followed by the big countdown to the lights switch on at 5pm by 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!
“It was great to recently meet Ian, Shelley and Lucia from Carefound Home Care in West Bridgford and we’re delighted to welcome them as lead event sponsors.
“We’re also pleased to see the return of the National Ice Arena who are kindly supporting the event for their third year.
“This magical event is not one to miss so make sure you come to the town on Saturday November 23 and join us for the countdown to the town’s lights switch on followed by our lower noise but no less spectacular firework display.”
