Christmas comes to Corsham when the lights are switched on at the town council’s family-friendly event on Friday 4 December 2026. It runs from 3pm to 7.30pm along Corsham High Street, with the switch-on itself at 6pm.

The event is free. Expect entertainment, stalls and festive games through the afternoon, and a special appearance from Father Christmas in time for the switch-on.

Corsham’s historic High Street, familiar from the TV series Poldark, is a lovely setting for it; the town is a few miles from Chippenham and Bath.
