Tips & Advice
- Head to the stage outside the Town Hall ahead of the Switch On, because that's where the crowds gather to watch the lights come on.
- Browse the Christmas Market along the High Street first, since it opens before the live music starts on the Town Hall stage.
- Bring younger children in time to enjoy the fairground rides and games by the High Street Christmas tree before the main Switch On.
- Keep the kids near the Town Hall stage as the Switch On gets close, because Father Christmas makes his special appearance in time for it.
- Dress warmly, since the market, the music and the Switch On all take place outdoors along Corsham High Street on a December evening.
