Bracknell

This year Bracknell pulls out all the stops with a star-studded spectacular Christmas Light Switch on. With an exhilarating performance from Toyah Willcox, plus the unveiling of the new town centre Christmas lights and Bracknell’s largest ever firework display, it will be a truly electrifying start to Christmas.

Kicking off at 3pm, on Thursday 22 November, popular DJs Danny Pike and Steve Hyland will be playing music in Bracknell Charles Square to help everyone get into the party mood. With the 2-ten fm’s Thunders and breakfast DJ’s Foxy and Tom arriving at 4.30pm it’s sure to be an entertaining night – and that’s before Toyah has even joined the party.

Illuminating the town centre with her performances, Toyah will then reveal this year’s new Bracknell Christmas light displays – in both Princess Square, and then later in Charles Square, when it gets a little darker. Louisa Wright Wastell from the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership comments, ‘With Toyah’s sense of fun and adventure and her boundless energy, her performance will be as electrifying as the lights and fireworks.’

Graham Mountford, Town Centre Manager from Bracknell Forest Borough Council, said: “I am very much looking forward to this year’s Christmas light switch-on and also to meeting Toyah. It is great to have a celebrity to help share in our celebrations this year and Toyah, with her energy and enthusiasm is the perfect choice.

“I hope as many Bracknell residents as possible will come along to the event. It promises to be an amazing night.”

To mark the end a truly entertaining evening Toyah will be in Princess Square from 6.30pm - ready and willing to sign autographs.

Starting from 22 November, shops in Bracknell are open late every Thursday until 8pm leading up to Christmas, with free car parking from 5pm
