Peterborough's Queensgate is getting ready to switch on its Christmas lights
Kick-start the festive season on Saturday (16th), when Queensgate in Peterborough will be transformed into a winter wonderland, unveiling its sensational Queensgate Express theme and this year’s lights switch-on promises to be bigger, brighter, and more magical than ever before.
Hosted by PCR FM’s Kev Lawrence, from 11am the event will ignite the Christmas spirit with an electrifying showcase of dancers, live music, and entertainment.
But that’s not all! There will be fantastic prizes up for grabs, making it a day full of festive surprises. The grand reveal of the Queensgate Express will take shoppers on an unforgettable journey through the festive season, building excitement and wonder as Christmas draws near.
To spread even more holiday cheer, the well-loved Salvation Army will be performing in the heart of the centre at various days and times. Their uplifting melodies will fill the air as they collect donations and spread festive joy.
This year’s gift donation will also be with the Salvation Army and a donation box will be in the centre to collect gifts for local children and adults to help bring joy to those who need it most during this magical time of the year.
But the fun doesn’t stop on November 16. Throughout the lead-up to Christmas, Queensgate will host a variety of community events—from workshops to performances—ensuring there’s festive fun for everyone.
And for an extra sprinkle of magic, Santa’s Grotto is back! Bring the little ones to meet Santa himself, snap photos, and enjoy an enchanting experience they’ll never forget. Tickets are available now at www.queensgate-shopping.co.uk/events/meet-santa-at-queensgate - so be sure to book early!
