Kempston Town Council is delighted to announce that the Kempston Christmas Light Switch On will take place on Sunday 29 November 2026 at the Kempston Saxon Centre.

Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a festive afternoon of Christmas market stalls, fairground attractions, live entertainment and seasonal fun from 12 noon to 6.00pm, with the Christmas lights being switched on at 5.00pm.

Kempston Town Council is pleased to welcome One Group Services as the event's principal sponsor. The Council would like to thank the company for its generous support in helping to deliver a memorable community event for the people of Kempston.

Councillor Steve Conway, Mayor of Kempston, said:
"The Christmas Light Switch On is one of the highlights of the year and a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the start of the festive season."

Town Clerk, Helen White, added:
"This event simply would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, partners, volunteers and local businesses”

Visitors will also benefit from the support of Sainsbury's Kempston, which has kindly agreed to waive its parking restrictions for the day to help those attending the event.
