Britain's What's On Event Guide
Aldershot Christmas Cracker 2024
Start the countdown to Christmas at the magical Aldershot Christmas Lights Switch On from noon to 5.30pm on Saturday 16 November.
There's a stocking-full of festive fun taking place throughout the town centre, with lovely stalls, a grotto, fireworks, two stages and street entertainment for all the family!
The fun includes over 35 craft, food and community stalls, a nativity farm and donkeys, Juggling Jake, Lego brick building, birds of prey, free children’s Christmas crafts, face painting, brass bands and a full line-up of live entertainment across two stages.
Children can also meet Father Christmas in his grotto and bounce around in the giant snow globe for free. Over 100 performers from local brass bands, choir and dance schools will take to the stages to perform.
The highlight of the event will be the countdown to the Christmas lights switch-on, which will take place in Princes Gardens from 5.10pm, including a short firework display and a giant snow machine!
The event takes place in Union Street, Wellington Street and Princes Gardens in Aldershot town centre.
The event has been organised by Rushmoor Borough Council, with the help of Aldershot Community Together, a group of residents and volunteers who work with the council on projects for the town.
