Southampton is the place to be to get into the festive spirit.

There’s lots to see and do for all the family across the city as well of course the Southampton Christmas Market.

Opening Event & Official Lights Switch On

There’s lots to see and do for all the family across the city as well of course the Southampton Christmas Market.

Join in the family fun 16th – 19th November, across the city centre for four days of free family fun.

From street theatre acts to toe-tapping performances by local musicians, there is something for everyone to catch that festive feeling.

No countdown would be complete without the city’s official Christmas lights switch on. Join us at the main stage by the Bargate to cheer on the big moment.

Make sure you don’t miss Christopher Biggins switching on the lights, and join in Southampton’s biggest seasonal sing-along ‘Massaoke’.
