The Aldershot Christmas Cracker and the Village Tree Lighting are the town’s biggest annual Christmas events, featuring festive stalls, live entertainment, and the official holiday lights switch-on.
Aldershot’s community-focused Village Tree Lighting and Christmas Cracker events highlight local traditions of gathering in the town centre for live performances, festive markets, and family activities that bring residents together each year.
The Aldershot Village area around Plains Road is known for its festive light displays, along with several beloved neighborhood streets that decorate extensively for the holidays, offering pleasant walking trails to enjoy the lights.
Christmas markets and local artisan vendors are primarily located in Aldershot town centre, especially around Princes Gardens and Princes Way during the Christmas Cracker event and other seasonal fairs.
Free activities include visiting neighborhood light displays, attending the Village Tree Lighting ceremony, and exploring the Aldershot Christmas Cracker markets, which offer many no-cost family-friendly events and entertainment.
