Experience the magic of the Norwich Christmas Lights Switch-On

On Thursday 14th November 2024, Norwich will transform into a festive wonderland with the Christmas light switch-on at City Hall, provided by Norwich BID, with support from Norwich City Council.

You’ll also find unique gifts and Christmas stocking stuffers at Smiggle and Langleys, where little ones can explore toys and fun goodies.
