Whitehaven is getting ready to sprinkle a little Christmas magic across the town, with twinkling lights, live entertainment, festive market stalls and spectacular fireworks to get everyone feeling merry.
The Christmas Lights Switch-On takes place on Saturday 14 November, with entertainment from 11am until 5pm. Councillor Raymond Gill will switch on the lights at 4.30pm, officially welcoming the festive season.
“It is the perfect opportunity to find something special for those on your Christmas list while enjoying a seasonal wander.”
The stage in front of The Market Hall will host a lively line-up, with local DJ Tony Pearce compèring performances from Joe Calabro, Dean Campbell, Liam Moorhouse, Colission and Razzmatazz West Cumbria. A market organised by TEG will add to the festivities, offering visitors the chance to browse the stalls, pick up a few treats and soak up the Christmas atmosphere.
The festive fun continues on Friday 4 December with Whitehaven’s Christmas Market at St Nicholas Gardens, running from 10am until 4pm. With delicious food and lovely gifts on offer, it is the perfect opportunity to find something special for those on your Christmas list while enjoying a seasonal wander.
The day will finish with Whitehaven’s annual harbour fireworks display from 5.15pm until 5.30pm. Wrap up warm, gather with family and friends, and enjoy a sparkling finale as colourful fireworks light up the winter sky above the harbour.
