Visit Newbury's Virtual Christmas Lights Switch-On Event - 20th November, 2020

Newbury, are you ready for CHRISTMAS? 🎄 🎅
-
Christmas is ready and waiting for you! 🤩
-
Visit Newbury is delighted to share with you our mini virtual Christmas lights switch-on, streamed via our Facebook page and YouTube channel on Friday 20th November at 18:45pm. ✨
-
The video event will include a countdown to capture the moment the lights are switched on, a montage of the Christmas lights across the town centre, a selection of our favourite virtual performances from local groups throughout 2020, and Newbury's mayor, Cllr Elizabeth O’Keeffe, will deliver her annual Christmas speech.
-
The event is a nudge to our “’Tis the Season to Shop Local” campaign, encouraging residents to support local businesses this Christmas.
