Eastleigh Christmas Lights Switch-On
Eastleigh welcomes the festive season with its annual Christmas lights switch-on, a free community celebration in the town centre.
A festive parade sets off at 5.15pm, bringing colour and cheer through the streets, before the big moment at 6pm when the town's Christmas lights are switched on. It's a friendly, family-focused evening and a great way to start Christmas in Eastleigh.
Saturday 21 November. Free to attend.
