Pupils from Hailsham Community College and Hailsham Primary Academy will be carol singing before the official switch-on and Santa will be attending (courtesy of Hailsham Rotary Club) handing out sweets to children. Hailsham FM will be broadcasting live and playing popular Christmas tunes at the event.
There will be a range of market stalls selling Christmas gifts, food and other items, and if that wasn’t enough, there will be face-painting and other activities for the duration of the event!
Following the Christmas Lights switch-on, which takes place at 6pm, Hailsham Parish Church will be open to the public serving free hot drinks.
The Christmas lights switch-on is always one of the highlights of the year in the town centre and we hope many people decide to attend the event, enjoy the entertainment on offer and get in the festive spirit with their friends and family.
