DETAILS:
The Official Whitworth Christmas Lights Switch On is a popular family event, which will begin at 6pm on Sunday 25th November.
People will be arriving outside the Riverside for a short prize giving on the outdoor stage before the lights switch on. The public will be invited inside for entertainment by the Whitworth Vale and Healey Youth Band after this prize giving and a certain ‘man in red’ will arrive in his amazing grotto on the indoor stage. Children will be invited to visit and receive their free Christmas gift.
Because the stage is going to be outside, The Riverside will stop people entering and leaving the car park 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 car park for the event as long as 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.
2019 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 7.00pm.
