Get ready to party with the Christmas light switch on
Slough Borough Council has announced it will be kicking off the festive season with its Christmas lights switch on, sponsored by the Slough Express, on Thursday, November 25.
A host of acts will wow the crowds before the lights are turned on and fireworks set off. There will be the very talented students from the Creative Academy and tribute act, Lee Pashley, who will be crooning the crowd with songs from Robbie Williams and Michael Bublé.
The Caribbean Boys steel band will be adding some feel good factor to the Christmas event and of course, residents will be in with the chance to win some major prizes.
Last year saw one lucky lady win £500 of shopping vouchers, and this year’s Christmas delight will not disappoint, as more people will be in with a chance to win some great gifts thanks to the generosity of shops and businesses around the town. One lucky person will win a hamper of goodies to include a new mobile phone from O2, gift vouchers for hair and beauty and much, much more…
There will also be free mulled wine and minced pies handed out, thanks to Sainsbury’s, while stocks last.
The late afternoon extravaganza will start from approximately 3.40pm with an introduction, along with the Mayor of Slough helping the fun begin.
