Lancaster BID invite you to celebrate the start of the festive season when the annual Lancaster Christmas Light Switch On event takes over Market Square on Sunday 27 November, kindly supported by Lancaster University.
Warming up the festivities, CancerCare’s Santa Dash is back for 2022 announced by the vibrant beats of Samba Espirito, after which the family friendly stage show hosted by Beyond Radio promises to be an extravaganza of music and dance, culminating with the much-anticipated countdown to light switch on with Santa himself!
Committed to supporting local talent, Lancaster BID are delighted to welcome popular headline act The Lancashire Hotpots, alongside Lancaster favourites including The Howling Clowns, The Fourth Colour, The Bobby-Pin-Ups and Roses & Thorns, The Dukes, Olivia-Mae Mulqueeney, Lancaster Grand Theatre and The Performance Studios - ensuring a 'reet' good day to remember in Lancaster city centre!
The date also signals the launch of Lancaster BID’s first toy appeal, with the kind support of The Travellers Choice running through to Saturday 17 December, as well as the Lancaster BID Reindeer Trail supported by St Nicholas Arcades, featuring life-size reindeer figures decorated by local school children to create a fun trail around the city centre.
Follow ‘Love Lancaster BID’ on Facebook and Instagram for full details and join Lancaster BID in Market Square on Sunday 27 November as we bring in the festive season with a big Lancashire “Eh Up!”
