The BIG Cambridge Christmas Lights Switch On

It's nearly time to light up Cambridge and kick off the festive season! Join Star Radio and Love Cambridge for the BIG Switch On in Market Square on Sunday 17th November.

Starting from midday our very own Josh Lovatt and Andy Lake will be hosting a day packed with entertainment. Expect lively performances from local talents, including performing arts clubs, choirs, schools and more. It's a community-focused celebration you won't want to miss!

We're especially excited to welcome the panto stars from the ADC Theatre who'll be giving us a sneak peek of their upcoming show Snow White.

Thousands join us every year, so gather your friends and family and be part of this beloved Cambridge tradition.

This year's event is proudly sponsored by Bright Horizons - a leader in early years education. With two new nurseries opening in Cambridge - on the Biomedical Campus and Milton Road - they're expanding their commitment to nurturing the next generation right here in Cambridgeshire.

Leah Dunne-Kealy Talent Acquisition Manager at Bright Horizons says “We wanted to sponsor this year’s Christmas lights switch on, as we are always looking for ways to connect with our local community and promote the early years sector as a rewarding and important careers path – for anyone who wants to make a difference to the next generation. During a time of celebration, where connection and family is really evident, this felt like a great partnership opportunity.”
