Cirencester Advent Market & Light Switch On

Saturday 28 November 2026
The Market Place and the town centre, Cirencester, Gloucestershire(GL7 2NZ)

The Advent Market & Light Switch On, put on jointly by Cirencester Markets and the town council, fills the centre of this Gloucestershire town with a street market of more than 100 stalls. Local choirs and musicians perform live, and there is street entertainment, a guest compere and three big screens, while charities and community groups have stalls in the parish church. Santa and his sleigh are part of the day, a firework display is silent or low-noise, and the ceremony that switches on the lights is presented by the organisers as the beginning of Christmas in Cirencester. Town centre road closures are in place.
