In 2026, Kenilworth will no longer be celebrating two separate Light Switch On events. Warwick District Council have decided to change the format of the usual Warwick Road Switch On event to a day time Christmas ‘Festive Hub’ in Abbey End.
However, fear not! The Town Council, in collaboration with Old Town Community Events and the High Street Illuminations Committee are still bringing you the traditional High Street Christmas Light Switch On event to take place on Friday 27 November 2026 between 5pm and 8pm!
This is our second year of hosting this event and we are thrilled to bring new ideas and attractions to the already well established and successful event we all know and love. We hope you’ll agree that last year was fantastic by opening up the event and providing more space for residents amongst the usual community stalls and local businesses. St Nicholas will be hosting their Christmas Tree Festival and we have a third addition to the event this year…the inclusion of a Teenage Market! We are so excited that the organisers of the Teenage Market could join us. They will be setting up shop in the Parochial Hall providing a triangle of activity for you to visit on the night!
Do come down and join us in kicking off the festive celebrations with a bang!
