Local Christmas Lights Switch On's in the Area

Local Christmas Light Switch Ons

It’s beginning to look a lot like... Christmas lights!
Jingle your bells and deck the halls, the Christmas lights are coming, so tell thee all! 
High streets are starting to sparkle and shine with seasonal decorations, the vibrant shop fronts are lined with festive figurines and faux snow. A distant sound of Michael Bublé’s ‘White Christmas’ can be heard whirling through the wintery air, whilst baristas are pouring the annual favourite ‘spiced latte’ to warm those with frosty fingers and nippy noses. 
The Christmas Lights switch on is a wonder and delight, filling those with enough Christmas spirit to power Santa’s sleigh! 
Don’t be a scrooge, dust off those woolly hats and enjoy an evening of magic and marvel at one of these local areas to you...

TEWKESBURY FESTIVAL OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS - Date of Christmas Light switch on: November 21st

There is plenty to keep the children entertained at this light switch on, in particular animal
lovers, as Reindeer are going to be at the Tewkesbury Festival of Christmas Lights! They are
already stamping their hooves in demand for carrots, and waiting for lots of petting.
Attendees can also witness an extraordinary falconry display, watch street performers,
entertainers, and browse the local farmers market. Parking is free.
Unfortunately, a small number of events have had to cancel this year due to the
current pandemic.

Hereford and Leominster have both recently confirmed that the light switch on will
NOT be taking place.
