Christmas Lights Switch On

Doncaster Christmas Light Switch-On

Saturday 14th November | Doncaster City Centre

Celebrate the start of the festive season as Doncaster comes alive with Christmas cheer at the annual Christmas Light Switch-On.

In keeping with tradition this year’s event will take place in the Market Square, Doncaster, with the Corn Exchange building providing a stunning backdrop for an evening of entertainment and celebration. The entire area around the Market Square will be filled with festive spirit, food, and fun.

Enjoy a wide selection of traditional and festive food and drink from local vendors, alongside the offerings already available in the Wool Market and Market Square.

There will be a festive Christmas Market inside the Corn Exchange, throughout the day but the entertainment begins at 4pm and as always, this event has something for everyone.

Live performances from Dene Michael of Black Lace, who will be bringing crowd-pleasing favourites including Agadoo, I am the Music Man and plenty of festive party vibes.

Keep an eye out for The Yorkshire Grinch, the UK's number one Grinch tribute performer. You might want to keep those Christmas presents well hidden...

There will be music from the Santa Brass Band and walkabout entertainers featuring Glitterball Snowmen, live Gingerbread figures and much…much more.

The showstopping carousel returns for another year, alongside a number of other children’s rides and attractions all coming together at 7:45pm with the switch-on and fireworks display that will light up the city centre sky.

This is a free, family-friendly event and a perfect way to kick off the Christmas season in Doncaster. Don’t miss this spectacular evening of music, entertainment, and festive magic.
