The lights will be turned on at 6pm.

Both events will be free.

Last year the light switch on events were held for the first time since 2019.

In 2021 the event was cancelled on the day due to bad weather, and in 2020 the switch-on was a virtual one with residents encouraged to turn on their own lights at the same time.

Details of the road closures, stalls and entertainment for the switch-ones will be announced closer to the time.
