We’re saying goodbye to summer, Halloween is just around the corner, and soon enough, it’ll be time to dive head-first into all things festive. That means twinkling lights brightening up our streets and adding some sparkle to those long, dark evenings. Clapham Old Town is bringing back the Christmas magic, and we’ve got all the details you need to know!

When Is It Happening?

The Clapham Lights switch-on is set for 29th November, so grab your woolly hats and head to the Polygon for an evening of festive fun. This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better, with plenty to keep you entertained.

The action kicks off at 3pm, and there’s something for everyone: decoration-making workshops, mulled wine, live music, carol singing, rides, and stalls galore. So, come along, pick up a mince pie, and get ready to kickstart the Christmas season in style.

Who’s Switching on the Lights?

We’ll be treated to another special guest this year as they flip the switch on Clapham’s Christmas lights. Two years ago, the iconic ‘flying hedgehog’ (previously a goat!) did the honours with some help from Miriam Margolyes, so we’ve got high hopes for this year’s mystery guest. Who will it be? You’ll have to come along to find out!
