Hereford Christmas lights switch-on: Full details of 2024 festive event

Hereford's Christmas light switch-on will take place next month – and we have all you need to know ahead of the event.

This year it’s time to feel the ‘Power of a Woman’, as Hereford City Council & Sunshine Radio present the free event of the year – The Hereford Christmas Lights Switch On Show supported by Outstanding Education!

Join us, as special guests the legendary girl group ETERNAL headline our performances. With 15 back-to-back Top 20 hits, we’re sure you’ll ‘Stay’ and enjoy a show that’ll be ‘Just a step from heaven’!

Local acts included the Hereford Rock Choir, Lilac Loonies and One Vision School of Arts – plus kids favourites Olaf, The Grinch and Elf on the Shelf will be making an appearance.

The Big Switch on is at 5….and the after party will be an amazing shindig with the UK’s #1 Paloma Faith tribute PURE PALOMA and her band!

Come down and enjoy the FREE show on November the 17th in High Town Hereford from 3:15pm.

Station Manager Mark Edwards says: “We’re proud of our association with Hereford Town Council over the past 14 years, and the leading stars we’ve been able to bring to High Town including in the past: S Club, Liberty X, Betty Boo and Lee Ryan.

"This year’s show has taken months to put together and all the acts have rehearsed to give the audience of thousands who come along a night to remember! Last year we surprised everyone with a video dial-in from Rick Astley as a surprise – what will we have up our sleeve this year?”
