ADVERT I SEMENT F EATURE
THE BIG SWITCH ON
The Big Christmas Lights Switch On takes place on Sunday 17 November, and Cambridge BID invites you to join in the fun and festivities. The event, sponsored by Cambridge Independent , kicks off the festive season in style with Star Radio taking control of the stage and promising to entertain the crowds frommidday onwards in the Market Square. There is a lively line-up from local schools, performing arts clubs, choirs and more, including a performance by the Rock Choir at 4.30pm. Channel your inner rock god and get ready to sing along! Star Radio and Cambridge BID sought out a special guest to switch the lights on – this time it’s not a celebrity the duo searched for, but a local hero. They ran a competition on air and online, asking people to get in touch with a nomination for the community star they felt deserved recognition. Competition was tough, but a winner has been selected by the panel of judges, so come along to the Market Square to see who the lucky winner is!
STATION TREE SWITCH ON
This year a separate event is taking place on Thursday 14 November to officially switch on the Christmas Tree at Cambridge railway station. Join Star Radio Breakfast presenter, Josh Lovatt, to switch on the tree and officially kick off Christmas in the CB1 area. Festivities start at around 5pm, when Josh brings his decks and party tunes (and maybe the odd Christmas song) to the station and asks you to help celebrate the start of Christmas. There will be a bar and some food stalls close by so grab a mulled wine and something to eat, and enjoy the evening! The lights will be switched on around 6pm
