Light Switch On

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and at Vicar Lane we will be kicking off the festivities with the Chesterfield annual light switch on!

On Sunday 17^th November, come to Vicar Lane between 12pm-5pm for a magical evening!

Santa’s Grotto will be opening from 2pm so little ones can meet the big man himself. For more information visit here

Families can also take part in the festive augmented reality trail which will be running until 31st December. Little ones will need to help Santa by deciding on an animal to assist him whilst Rudolph is on holiday. Simply find a vinyl in one of the shop windows and scan the QR code to get started! Once complete you’ll receive a free festive e-book and be entered into the prize draw to win a £50 The Works voucher.For more information visit here

Between 2pm – 4pm, families will be able to join illustrator Sally Anderson in The Christmas Workshop (next to Cards Direct) for a free craft workshop. This will be inspired by her project, ‘Robin’s Lost Letters’ a unique festive trail that will be in shop windows across the town centre throughout December.

At the workshop Sally will teach participants to draw or create their own Robin that can be taken home. The workshop will also provide the opportunity to create art on the windows using the same techniques she will be using to create the trail.

There will also be special appearances of magical performers on stilts, lighting up the evening with their magnificent costumes.

There will be sweet treats to enjoy including donuts and Dribble Cakes as well as jewellery stand by Amber & Lace.

Children can also have a go on the merry go round.

Make sure to bring your family and friends as it’s sure to be a magical day to remember.
