Christmas Lights Switch on 2025

HO!HO!HO! Our traditional Christmas Tree lights switch on with Santa will take place on 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝟐𝟗𝒕𝒉 𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓.

Members of the Dales Community Pop Choir will be performing at 2:30pm Leyburn Band will be performing at 3:30pm and Santa will be arriving on his sleigh supported by his elves and Wensleydale Round Table at 4:30pm.

We are looking for some young people to help Santa switch on the lights so if you know someone who would like to help Santa, please drop us a DM with the name of the young person, why you think they would be great, and the contact email of a parent/guardian.

Don’t forget that Leyburn Primary PTFA are hosting their Christmas Fayre between 10:00am – 4:00pm at the Methodist Hall on the same day, where you can expect games, gifts, food and much more. The Garden Rooms at Tennants are also hosting their Winter Wonderland Event on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th November, and Wensleydale Railway will be hosting the Polar Express.

We will also be having a Christmas Window Competition, so if your shop, pub, café or business want to take part, we’ll be out and about taking photo’s of windows over the weekend of the 6th/7th December ready to load and vote on during the following week
