Christmas returns to Sheffield this year as the Christmas Lights Switch On event takes place across the city centre on Sunday 20 November from 2pm to 6:30pm.

This year’s event will evoke those nostalgic memories of childhood with choirs, Santa’s grotto, carolling, panto, street entertainment, Christmas markets, children’s TV and film characters, Christmas craft activities and fairground rides. And of course the switch on of the illuminations at 5:30pm from the Peace Gardens stage!

Heart Yorkshire's Dixie & Emma will host the stage programme with choirs, Christmas music, pop, pop opera, interviews and Sheffield Theatre’s panto stars. 

Bring the family along to meet children’s film and TV characters, have a go at Christmas crafts in the Winter Garden and even meet Father Christmas in his Grotto on Fargate. Or why not take the elf trail from the Winter Garden, find the clues around the city centre and you might even win a prize in the draw?

You can also take a ride on a fire engine and play on the National Emergency Museum’s display of emergency vehicles as the museum goes ‘on tour’ for the day.
