Just out of curiosity when are your local lights being switched on?

Our towns go on tomorrow. DH is busy muttering it gets earlier and earlier Hmm. I personally love it!

It was 18th November 14 years ago, as that was the day we got married. I don’t think it is getting earlier.

TeenPlusTwenties · 16/11/2019 16:59

Next Saturday. Our outside lights will go on too (if I can get DH to help me put them up in time).

Ours was yesterday. Neighbouring town is today. Glasgow is tomorrow. (I'm in scotland)

Thank you! I’m actually thinking it must have been 13 years ago. Gawd. I dunno.

Must do something about anniversary. Blush

NoWordForFluffy · 16/11/2019 17:04

Ours is today. With Peter Andre. We aren't going.

wildhairdontcare · 16/11/2019 17:12

@dementedpixie we are near to Glasgow too. We are tomorrow but neighbouring town is next weekend.

@NotMeNoNo Peter Andre is hardly a big draw... apparently the local pantomime cast are switching ours on Blush.

MrOnionsBumperRoller · 16/11/2019 18:25

MrsPear · 16/11/2019 19:43

Out me but hey - it was last Thursday so the 14th!

loubieloo4 · 16/11/2019 19:45

Next weekend with someone from Eastenders bald bloke Phil I think 🤷🏼‍♀️ won't be going!

TwoBoxers · 16/11/2019 19:49

Today at 6.30 pm. There's been a carnival atmosphere all day in town. Josh Navidi did the official switching on. If you're Welsh you'll know who he is, if not his name will mean nothing.

Star2015 · 16/11/2019 20:13

Friday 29th and my job means it’s all organised by me!

Preparations started in February for this years switch on. Fingers crossed for a dry evening Grin

FadingStar · 16/11/2019 20:37

wildhairdontcare · 17/11/2019 11:23

Bristol's are already done, the switch on was ruined by young adults standing on the seats (marble slabs) in front of the children.
Our town is on 29th Nov but we'll be in Manchester
