About

Mark the start of the festive season and join Princes Risborough Town Council on Saturday 30th November for Princes Risborough's annual Christmas Lights Switch On event!

Princes Risborough High Street will once again come alive with Christmas festivities on Saturday 30th November for their annual Christmas Lights Switch On event. The event organised by Princes Risborough Town Council spans three hours, running from 3:00PM to 6:00PM and will see the local community and visitors come together in joyous harmony for the return of the Ice Rink, Santa's Grotto, and festive live entertainment. Additional entertainment for this year includes an elf academy workshop where children will be guided by a senior elf to graduate as honorary Christmas elves, mastering essential elf skills like crafts, singing, telling silly jokes, and determining who's naughty or nice!

A main stage located in front of the historic Market House will provide entertainment throughout the afternoon, with performances from local primary and secondary schools, and fun-time four-piece covers band 'Pat & The Butchers'. Additional music from the Ellesborough Silver Band and Princes Risborough Ukulele Group will appear along the High Street throughout the afternoon.

Food and refreshments from local vendors will have a vast array to keep you well-fed, including gourmet burgers from Really Good Sausages, Burgers, & BBQ Bites, delicious crepes from local retailer La Crepe Escape, Afro-Caribbean food from Divine Meals and more.

The festive afternoon is the perfect opportunity for High Street retailers and hospitality, local businesses, organisations, and charities to build their own profiles and raise much-needed funds for their own projects.

Within the final hour of the event, the Princes Risborough Christmas Lights will be switched on by Pantomime Star Maeve Byrne who is playing Emily Darling at Aylesbury Waterside Theatres 'The Further Adventures of Peter Pan: The Return of Captain Hook'.
