Tewkesbury Christmas Market & Lights Switch-On
Tewkesbury's biggest one-day event fills the historic town centre with more than 70 market stalls, children's fairground rides, Father Christmas, street food and a stage packed with local talent. The grand finale comes at 5pm, when the cast of the Roses Theatre pantomime switches on the Christmas lights and the whole town sings along. A wonderfully community-spirited start to the festive season.
