Preston Christmas Lights Switch On 2024

Preston's Christmas Lights Switch On is set to be a Christmas cracker this year.

Staged by the city's Business Improvement District (BID), the event takes place from 6pm on Saturday November 23, and is partnered by Preston City Council, The Street Monkeys, and leading regional supermarket, Booths.

This year's line-up includes legendary band, The Drifters, Clubland Reborn, America's Got Talent's Ryland Petty, Do It Like Dua, Heatwave’s Roy Carter, Preston's Kimberley Fox, Halfmark,  and Corrie favourite Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass in the soap.

Plus, there'll be an appearance from the ever-popular, if not slightly mischievous 'Grinch', 'The Spud Bros.', and of course, 'Santa'.

There's free parking at Lancashire County Council's Arthur Street car park, and all UCLan city centre car parks from 12pm on Switch On day, 23 November. With Preston City Council's Trinity Street Car Park and Penny Street Car Park being free from 1pm.
