Christmas Lights Light Up Salisbury
By Nancy Duckels
Salisbury kick-starts the festive season this year with its famous Christmas lights switch-on on November the 27th.
Held in Salisbury Market Place, the evening begins at 6 pm with a number of performances from local acts, such as the Salisbury Children’s Choir and singer Gemma Cordon. Children’s entertainment will be provided in the form of ‘Ticklish Allsorts’, a group of comedic performers who sing, tell stories and perform tricks. Whilst the kids are entertained, Abba Tribute Band ‘Abba Gold’ will perform some Abba classics at 7 pm.
The big moment arrives at 7.30 pm, when actor and I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! Contestant Christopher Biggins switches on the lights for the season. A spectacular fireworks show will end the evening.
“The Christmas lights really are the highlight of my year,” says Philippa White, 35 and nurse from Salisbury. “They are so beautiful and it just wouldn’t be Christmas without them!”
“I go to the lights every year with my friends. It’s such a nice atmosphere,” says student Clare Strong, from Wilton. “It’s a really good place to meet people and socialise.”
November 27th promises to be an excellent night for all the family. For more details about this fantastic event, call Salisbury City Centre Management at 01722 434654.
