Lighting up Bromsgrove District for Christmas
Bromsgrove District’s annual Christmas Lights Switch On events are returning to the High Street and Rubery this November!
Back on Bromsgrove High Street, the festivities will be kicking off on Saturday 19 November with food and music at Bromsgrove BirdBox, street theatre entertainment and a Christmas Market.
There will be entertainment throughout the afternoon with street performances from 1pm until 5pm along the high street including the Wish Fairies, stilt walking with the Ice people, light walkers and juggling Steve Kaos.
Music at the birdbox will include choirs, singers, and panto characters from 12pm and will be broadcast live by BRMG Radio. Blackwell Concert Band will also be performing on the High Street. Food and drink on offer will include family favourites such as Pizza, Waffles, Candyfloss, hot drinks and more, as well as alcoholic beverages from Woodcote Brewery and Bayley’s of Bromsgrove.
This year everyone can enjoy the countdown and switch-on from anywhere on the High Street at 5pm. The lights will be counted down by Chairman Cllr Rod Laight and helpers at Birdbox and an event compère will throw the switch-on a simultaneous countdown at the Christmas Market outside Argos.
The two-day Christmas Market will take place on 18 and 19 November in line with the switch-on, in partnership with Friends of St Johns. There will be craft stalls hosted by local traders providing gifts and decorations, festive food and drinks, entertainment throughout the day and a countdown for the lights to be switched on at the top of the High Street. The Christmas market will run 9am to 4pm on the Friday and 9am until 6pm on Saturday.
The high street switch on will be followed by the popular Primrose Hospice Tree of Lights switch-on and blessing by Reverend Khan at 6pm outside Asda.
This event has kindly been supported by The Bromsgrove Indie Club, BRMG Radio, Primrose Hospice and Friends of St John’s.
Jo Slade from Friends of St John’s said: “We are looking forward to kicking the festive season off in Bromsgrove with the Christmas Markets. All stall holders are local and talented, so it’ll be a great opportunity to buy locally made gifts and treats. We have a full day of entertainment on Saturday 19th with buskers Billy Smith and Max Stockin, the Rock Choir, Sounds of Steel Drums and Vintage Class Singers will be with us for the Light Switch On at 5pm. Do come along and enjoy the atmosphere.”
The Bromsgrove event will then be followed by more festive fun in Rubery Village on Saturday 26th November on New Road.
The popular annual event in Rubery will this year see Santa turning on the lights at 5pm, alongside the Primrose tree of Lights.
There will also be street theatre acts and entertainment throughout the day from 2.30pm until 5pm including the Wish Fairies, stilt walking with the Ice people and light walkers, and juggling Steve Kaos, as well as performances by local singers Michelle Roberts and Charlie Thompson and more.
Cllr Michael Thompson, Leisure Portfolio Holder, said: “The switch-on events have always been incredibly popular and are the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. They are guaranteed to be fun, family-friendly events to welcome the start of the festive season.”
Please note, outdoor performances are subject to change/cancellation due to adverse weather conditions or if the Government’s Covid19 advice changes.

Illuminating Autumn at Sanders Park
Sanders Park will be lighting up the dark winter nights later this month with a twinkling celebration of all thing’s autumn.
“Illuminating Autumn” will run slightly later this year from Thursday 17th and Friday 18th November and boasts a free light trail, music, and food stalls*, for all ages to enjoy, from 5pm until 9pm at Sanders Park.
The light trail will flow around the pathways in the centre of the park with the other entertainment and food stalls located around the café and car park area.
On Friday 18th visitors are also invited to join in with a lantern walk from 6pm, led by Moths at Work, a playful duo, and their illuminated roaming disco. To take part, just bring a lantern and join in the fun.
With increasing costs, security and public health issues in mind, council leaders made the decision to replace the usual bonfire evening with a free, sparkling celebration of Autumn.
Portfolio Holder for Leisure Services, Cllr Michael Thompson, said: “The illuminating autumn event is completely free and a great way to keep the family entertained in the run up to the busy festive period – which starts the following day with Bromsgrove’s Lights Switch On! It is also a more efficient use of public money, as well as being better for the environment, local wildlife, residents who struggle with traditional firework displays due to PTSD or other issues, and it’s a safer option for everyone attending.
“We’ve taken on board the comments from last year’s trial and have developed an even better offering this year. The light trail is set to be beautiful, and the lantern parade headed up by Moths at Work looks very exciting.”
*Additional charges apply to purchase food from vendors.
Please note, outdoor performances and the light show is subject to change/cancellation due to adverse weather conditions or if the Government’s Covid19 advice changes.
