Details:

The Official Whitworth Christmas Lights Switch On is a popular family event which will begin at 6pm on Sunday 24th November.

A short prize giving will happen on the Riverside's outdoor stage before the lights switch on.

Public will then be invited inside for entertainment by the Whitworth Vale and Healey Youth Band. A certain ‘man in red’ will arrive in his amazing grotto on the indoor stage and children will be invited to visit and receive their free Christmas gift. 

As the stage is outside, entering and leaving the carpark is prohibited between 5.45pm and 6.45pm, if you are planning to arrive or leave between these times please walk to the event or park nearby on Market Street. You are welcome to use the Riverside carpark for the event if you arrive by 5.45pm and do not leave until after 6.45pm.

The Riverside will be serving a glass of mulled wine or mulled cider and a mince pie for a small charge, with kid’s refreshments also available. 2020 Whitworth calendars will be on sale and ducks will be available to sponsor for the New Year’s Day Duck Race.

Entry to this event is free, and all are welcome.

The evening is expected to draw to a natural close around 7pm. For more details, contact Melanie Hearn, Town Clerk at Whitworth Town Council, on 01706 852018 / email: info@whitworth.gov.uk or phone the Riverside direct on 01706 854130.
