Rushden's annual Christmas lights switch-on will usher in the festive season
The event kicks off a series of Christmas activities in Rushden
Rushden Town Council has announced that its annual Christmas lights switch-on in the High Street will go ahead, with plenty of activities on offer to officially launch the festive season.
The lights will be put up by Rushden Town Council Staff and volunteers, with the Saturday, November 26 switch-on marking the start of the countdown to Christmas.
The town centre will be decorated in time for the celebrations with activities including Santa’s grotto, real reindeer and food stalls, with a festive soundtrack from Beat Route Radio giving the town some festive cheer.
The Snow Lion will be making a reappearance on the day, which has been a town favourite in past years.
Launching just five days before the lights are switched on is the Christmas Hamper competition, which gives people the chance to win a luxury hamper filled with hand-selected gifts sourced from Rushden’s High Street stores.
