Westerham Christmas Shopping and Lights Switch On

Christmas shopping extravaganza in Westerham

- Lights switch on and late night shopping: Thursday 28th November, 6.30pm

- Ideas for Christmas presents with a difference: now until New Year

A festive fun evening for all is promised when TV broadcaster and journalist Dr Hilary Jones, accompanied by the Westerham Amateur Dramatic Society (WADS) cast of The Wizard of Oz, switch on the Christmas lights in the historic town of Westerham. The festivities will take place on Thursday 28^th November, at 6.30pm on The Green, after Dr Hilary Jones arrives with Father Christmas on a dray pulled by local Shire horses.

Westerham’s charming and quirky shops will welcome shoppers with mince pies and mulled wine, and there will also be stalls around the town, with hot chestnuts, candy-floss, Christmas decorations, unusual presents and other goodies.

The town’s retailers are offering lots of unusual and different present ideas – ranging from a knicker-making kit and handmade chocs to Cire Trudon luxury candles and a signed French Art Deco figurine (see separate release for more details).

Adding to the Christmas feel will be Westerham Local Vocals performing carols in harmony (The Green, 6.30pm) followed by the Oxted Rock Choir (Market Square at 7pm). St Mary’s Church Festival of Christmas Trees will also be open to visitors.
