Thame’s Christmas Lights will be switched-on on Friday 30 November at 7pm.

Santa has the date in his diary and will be returning to his Grotto from 3:30pm, joined by two adorable reindeers, you can feed and pet. Or why not take a photo in his authentic sleigh?

There will be indoor and outdoor entertainment throughout the event from ten local performance groups, as well as roaming princesses Rapunzel and Tinkerbell! Refreshment and gift stalls a plenty will line the High Street and many of our fantastic independent shops will have late-night opening.

The iconic Lantern Parade will take place at 6:15pm, and the main Christmas lights will be switched-on at 7pm by the winner of this year’s Town Trail and the Mayor, Cllr Ann Midwinter. To be in with a chance of winning, look out for this year’s Town Trail competition, running throughout November.

The event is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship and support of local businesses and community groups. We would like to thank this year’s sponsors: ASM Auto Recycling, Kubota, Risborough Carers, Lucy Electric, 3B Vehicle Hire & Servicing, Connect Scaffolding and Thame & District Housing Association.
