The moment the town turns festive – stages, funfair rides, market stalls and a fireworks finale.
The biggest single day in the town's calendar.
Last year thousands filled the town centre as Bromley kicked off the festive season in style, and this year the switch-on returns on Saturday 28 November – bigger, brighter and still completely free.
The celebrations start inside The Glades, where the centre's lights go on with live performances, before the programme moves out onto the High Street: local school choirs and dance groups, live bands, roaming performers and special guests on stage through the afternoon.
Around the stage you will find festive market stalls, street food, a Christmas bar and a traditional funfair – big wheel, helter-skelter and family rides – before the main switch-on and a fireworks finale light up the town for Christmas.
The full stage line-up and timings are announced in November. Delivered by Your Bromley with support from The Glades, the Churchill Theatre and The Royal Bell.
