Windsor: Eton Christmas lights switch on - 12th Nov


On 12 November, celebrate the start of the festive season at Eton’s annual Christmas lights switch-on. Combining music, seasonal entertainment and a visit from Father Christmas, this much-loved event brings the community together in the heart of historic Eton.

Begin the evening with Eton College’s Carol Concert, before following Father Christmas and his reindeer along Eton High Street to Jubilee Square for the official lights switch-on, hosted by panto star Kevin Cruise. As the countdown begins and festive music fills the air, watch as Eton’s Christmas lights illuminate the town centre.

After the switch-on, take time to explore Eton’s shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as the seasonal street stalls offering festive food, drinks and gifts. Enjoy a warming mulled wine, sample locally brewed beers from Windsor & Eton Brewery, or pick up a bag of roasted chestnuts as you soak up the atmosphere.
