Durham City Christmas Light Switch On

Durham Market Place

26.11.17

5.30pm

Annual Traditional Christmas Light Switch On.

 

Join us for an evening full of fun and merriment, as a very special snowman helps to bring bags of Christmas cheer to Durham City. 

 
A totally immersive experience narrated by BBC Newcastle - Radio for the North East’s very own Alfie Joey, with live acts and music performances for all the family to enjoy, the Christmas Lights Switch On is not to be missed.

So gather your loved ones, wrap up warm, and snuggle together in the Market Place as you see the City literally light up before your very eyes with a feel-good festive glow, to mark the start of Christmas InDurham.
