Chester Christmas Lights Switch On 2024

Christmas really begins in Chester when the Christmas lights are switched on and this year the lights will be switched on from Friday 15 November illuminating the streets from Foregate Street, Eastgate Street, Watergate Street and Bridge Street.

Why not make a day of it and enjoy a festive lunch or dinner or make your Christmas budget go that bit further by taking advantage of all the wonderful food and drink offers available.

Christmas in Chester is in full swing with loads of wonderful Christmas things to do this year… The Christmas markets will bring great cheer, Santa is coming to town, Christmas day dinners are aplenty and you can’t get more Christmassy than booking a seat to see Cinderella and The Snowman shows.

Chester's food and drink scene comes alive at this time of the year, it has the best restaurants to choose from with lots of child and family friendly options and a great lineup of bars and pubs for a festive tipple or perhaps you fancy a cocktail or two!
