Christmas Lights Switch On And The Big Reveal

It’s Nearly Christmas…

Christmas is upon us once more, it’s time to roast those chestnuts and wrap those presents! Sadly, the event couldn’t take place last year, so it’s great to be back and the East Grinstead town traders will be wrapping their windows, once again, in preparation for this year’s Big Reveal, which will coincide with the Christmas lights switch-on, taking place on Saturday 20th November. The Town Mayor, John Dabell, will switch on the Rotary tree of light at the same time as the Town Council Christmas lights, at 5pm.

This year town traders will unveil their windows simultaneously to avoid large gatherings in one location and voting for your favourite window may be slightly differently this year, so please look out for social media for announcements nearer the time.

London Road will be closed to traffic from 3pm until 5.30pm and the High Street will be closed to traffic from 3pm to 8pm. It will be free to park in Mid-Sussex-owned short stay car parks (Chequer Mead and Queens Road). Look for signs by the pay machines.

So, come along, join in the festive atmosphere and kick-start your Christmas with the Big Reveal, late-night shopping and music from the East Grinstead Concert Band.
