🗓️ Saturday 29th November 2025
Get the date in your diary for this year’s Christmas lights switch-on in Swanage.
Grab a mulled wine, join in with some festive songs and get ready for the countdown before the town sparkles with the magic of Christmas once more.
There’ll be live entertainment, a formal countdown, and as always Father Christmas will be arriving on his sleigh to join the festivities.
Previous years saw visiting characters from The Polar Express, which came to Swanage Railway for the festive period join in the fun.
