‘Switch on’ will light up Whitnash

The Plough and Harrow pub in Whitnash is the place to be for the countdown to grand ‘switch on’ of the town’s Christmas lights on Sunday 5th December 2010.

The town’s streets will take on a twinkly, magical feel at the event, which is sure to get local families in the mood for Christmas.

From 4pm, there will be live music, dancers and a whole range of local performers, with the event getting bigger and better every year.

Father Christmas will also be making an appearance, with additional festivities including fairground rides, charity stalls and children’s entertainment.

There will then be the traditional countdown to the light switch on at 6pm.

The Christmas lights are switched on across all towns in Warwick district during November and December. Other switch on events take place in Leamington Spa on Sunday 21st November; Kenilworth on Friday 26th November (Talisman Square/Warwick Road) and Friday 3rd December (High Street); and Warwick on Thursday 25th November.
