Get ready to kick off the festive season in style! On November 25th, join us for a spectacular Christmas Light Switch On Event, right at the heart of Ilford on the bustling High Road. This extravaganza promises a day filled with joy, laughter, and memories to cherish.

The High Road will come alive with a delectable array of food and beverage stalls, offering a tantalizing range of treats to delight your taste buds. From traditional festive fare to global culinary delights, there's something for every palate.

Thrill-seekers, rejoice! Our fairground rides will provide adrenaline-pumping fun for all ages. Whether you're zooming on the Miami or spiralling down the Helter Skelter, you're in for a whirlwind of excitement. And don't miss the chance to rise above the crowd on the Ferris wheel, for breath-taking views of the festivities below.

Groove to the beats and be mesmerized by the talent on our dance and music stage. With performers spanning various genres, there's a rhythm for everyone. And keep an eye out for the iconic Batmobile, along with appearances from Batman and Superman themselves! Your favourite superheroes are here to add an extra dash of magic.

Challenge yourself on our assault courses, designed to test your agility and endurance. Face painting stations will unleash your inner artist, transforming you into fantastical characters. Plus, meet Santa himself in his enchanting grotto, where wishes and dreams come to life.

For our younger visitors, an interactive colouring activity will spark creativity and imagination. Watch as the High Road comes to life with vibrant hues and patterns, showcasing the talent of our budding artists.

And of course, the moment we've all been waiting for – the grand unveiling of our Christmas light scheme and tree. Brace yourself for not one, but two breath-taking fireworks displays, lighting up the Ilford sky. A confetti blast will shower the crowd with a dazzling display of colour and joy. And that's not all – witness the High Road transformed into a disco wonderland with our mirror ball illumination. With a touch of magic and a sprinkle of festive cheer, the countdown will begin with your help and support.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable celebration of the holiday season. Join us in Ilford, where the magic of Christmas comes to life. See you there!
