THE BIG SWITCH ON 2023 Cambridge BID is organising two Christmas lights switch-on events this year and invites you to join in the fun!
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! On Thursday 16 November we will officially turn on the lights at Cambridge railway station in partnership with Star Radio. Join Star Radio drive-time presenter Josh Lovatt to switch on the lights and officially kick off Christmas in the CB1 area. Starting at around 4.30pm, Josh will be bringing his decks and party tunes (and maybe the odd Christmas song) to the station and asking you to help celebrate the start of Christmas. We are working with some choirs and community groups to add some live acts to this year’s celebrations. Local bars and restaurants will be on hand to provide refreshments, with the lights turning on around 6pm. There will
also be a chance to win Love Cambridge Gift Cards which you can use for Christmas shopping or a little treat for yourself! CENTRE STAGE Later this month, on Sunday 19 November, we head to Market Square to turn on the city centre lights. The annual Big Switch On kicks off Christmas season this year with Star Radio taking control of the stage, promising to entertain the crowds from midday. There will be a lively line-up from local performing arts clubs, choirs and much more! “We have a fantastic new lighting scheme for the city this year,” enthuses Becky Burrell, marketing manager at
Cambridge BID. “So, we’re planning to kick off Christmas with a bang! It’s a great community event and we’re very excited to deliver this for the residents of Cambridge.”
LET THERE BE LIGHT The Big Switch On is guaranteed to get you in the Christmas mood
