Enjoy an afternoon packed with festive fun, live entertainment and Christmas cheer. Sing along to a Taylor Swift tribute before welcoming the cast of the Gordon Craig Theatre pantomime, who will help get everyone in the Christmas spirit ahead of the big moment.

And at 6.30pm the town’s Christmas lights are switched on, transforming the town centre into a festive spectacle.

Younger visitors can also enjoy a magical visit to Santa’s grotto.

Best of all, the event is free to attend, and there’s no need to book!

Further details, including the full programme of entertainment, will be announced nearer the event, so check back for updates and get ready to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in Stevenage.
