The Christmas Light Switch-On is delivered by Lowestoft Vision, the town’s Business Improvement District (BID) and this year’s event is sponsored by ScottishPower Renewables. A big thank you also goes to Birds Eye, who have kindly sponsored both of the town’s Christmas trees and to BBC Radio Suffolk, who will be our guest presenters on the day.
Together, they’re helping to bring families, friends and the community together to celebrate the start of Christmas in the heart of Lowestoft. Thanks to their support, the event is free for everyone to attend!
