Market Harborough Christmas Lights Switch On

*From the organisers (correct at the time of publishing), please see the organiser’s website for the latest details.

The town’s best-loved Christmas event is set to take place on Saturday November 23, starting from 5pm.

As well as the light switch on at 6.30pm, the Square’s Christmas tree – sponsored by Market Harborough Building Society – will be lit up while popular free street entertainment is set to return with stilt walkers, LED hula-hoopers, and jugglers. And, the star of the season, Father Christmas will be arriving from the North Pole to bring smiles to little faces and live music will be played throughout the evening.

Meanwhile, across the district, residents can enjoy late night shopping, a best festive window competition and a reindeer Christmas trail. The much-loved Christmas Food and Drink Festival returns to The Square the weekend beginning Friday November 22.
