Oldham town centre will burst into festive colour on Saturday 15 November as the annual Christmas Lights Switch-On Show returns – an evening packed with family fun, live music, and entertainment for all ages.
The main stage show takes place from 5.30pm to 6.30pm outside the Old Town Hall and will be a night to remember with performances from Oldham’s Fierce Dance and the Oldham Coliseum production ‘A Christmas Fair’.
Plus, Anton Benson’s Beauty and the Beast panto cast from the Queen Elizabeth Hall will grace the stage, alongside Ollie & Millie, Rodney the Reindeer, and Oldham’s very own Frank Rothwell. As always Father Christmas will be making an appearance!
Families can also look forward to meeting Bluey and Bingo, who will be appearing in the Market Hall from 2pm, at intervals throughout the afternoon.
The evening will finish with a dazzling finale with the official switch-on of Oldham’s Christmas lights and tree, followed by a Christmas themed fireworks display lighting up the town’s sky.
This year, one lucky child from Oldham will even get the chance to join Father Christmas and special guests on stage to push the button and officially switch on Oldham’s Christmas lights and start the fireworks
