Chesterfield Christmas Lights Switch On and Market featuring the main Christmas tree

About

Get into the festive spirit as Chesterfield’s annual Christmas Lights Switch On returns for 2023 with a variety of entertainment throughout the day and a market where shoppers can start their Christmas shopping.

The event takes place from 12noon to 6pm, with the switch on happening at 4.45pm.

Appearances from special guest Paddington™ will take place at intervals in Rykneld Square (outside the Visitor Information Centre) throughout the afternoon.

The stage show will be held in New Square from 3.30pm with carol singing Christmas Crackers, Rose Choir and a stunning light show with juggling and hula-hoops.

Meet the stars of this year’s pantomime ‘Aladdin’ and get the chance to win some free tickets to see the show.

You can also explore The Festival of Christmas Trees at the Crooked Spire Church and make a day of it exploring Chesterfield and picking up those special gifts from our high street stores and independent shops.

A market will run alongside this event in the Market Square and the Market Hall and café will also be open.

If you are heading to the event, please remember that Chesterfield Borough Residents can park for free with their residents pass on a Sunday.

The full entertainment line-up for the day will follow closer to the date.
