Retford Christmas Market and Lights Switch On, RETFORD

Sunday 24 November 2024
Location : Nottinghamshire County Council: Chancery Lane, RETFORD, Nottinghamshire, DN22 6DG, United Kingdom
We have been invited back again to help celebrate the annual Christmas Market and Lights Switch On held in Retford Market Square and Town Centre.

Santa will arrive at 12.00pm and quickly take up residence in the Town Hall, where he will look forward to meeting all of the children to hear their Christmas wishes. Santa will take a break to switch the lights on before returning to his grotto until 6.00pm when the event closes.

As well as the brilliant stage line up, there will be stalls and street food on the Market Square and an amazing craft market in Retford Town Hall

This event supports Bluebell Wood Charity

The UK Garrison costumers will be at the event between 14:00 and 18:00.
Star Wars Imperial costumers requested.

Events disclaimer

Event times

The times given are the times we will be on site at the event but unfortunately this doesn't necessarily mean we will be available to meet you throughout the whole of this period. Our plan for the day is usually confirmed with the event organisers closer to the event or even on the day. We will also require refreshment breaks. You may be able to get more specific details from the event organisers themselves if you contact them for when we are scheduled to meet with the public.

Star Wars & Reel Icons costumers

This has been added to the event details to let you know what kind of costumers this event has requested i.e. Star Wars only, Reel Icons only or a mixture of costumers. With all our events, we cannot guarantee what costumers will be available to attend as we are all volunteers who do this in our spare time so it is always on a 'best endeavours' basis.

Cancellations

Unfortunately, sometimes our attendance at an event is cancelled. This is infrequent but can happen for a variety of reasons including the event itself being cancelled or rescheduled by the organiser, inclement weather, costumers that are within the locale of that event being unavailable or ill. We recommend that you check back regularly with this calendar to ensure our attendance at a particular event is still scheduled.
