Description
Oldham’s Christmas Lights Switch-On
Sunday 18 November, 1–6pm, FREE
Get ready for an ‘out-of-this-world’ experience as we switch-on Oldham’s Christmas lights. Meet TV favourites Tiny and Small from The Clangers in Parliament Square at intervals throughout the day (1pm, 2pm and 3pm). Then join them at Tommyfield Market from 5pm for the big switch-on show and be amazed by the dazzling space age LED robotic dancers from Cirque Bijou.
Watch Oldham Theatre Workshop’s other-worldly performance to mark the end of their 50th anniversary celebrations. A fantastic firework display will then finish the evening off with a bang.

Access to Oldham town has never been easier thanks to Metrolink. The town centre line has three stops – Oldham Mumps, Oldham Central and Oldham King Street – meaning the many shops, attractions, events and leisure offer is all within a short distance. Journeys from Oldham Mumps into Manchester now only take around half an hour.
