Christmas Lights Festival returns to Gainsborough

The Christmas Lights Festival in Gainsborough returns this November, bringing with it fun for the whole family.

The festive spectacular takes place over 15 and 16 November. The excitement includes vintage fairground rides, a giant snow globe, street artists and entertainers.

On both days the main stage in Market Place will see local schools and choirs taking the spotlight. Keeping with the musical theme, there will be a DJ on Friday evening, while on Saturday live bands will take to the stage to perform.

Market Street will be lined with food stalls and festive traders, offering the best in local, independent, traders. Market Street will again be closed to passing traffic for the entirety of the event.

The event is organised by West Lindsey District Council with support from Gainsborough Town Council and is sponsored by local businesses.

Cllr Lesley Rollings, Deputy Leader of the Council and Chairman of Prosperous Communities at West Lindsey District Council, said she was looking forward to the community getting together for the event.

“The Christmas Lights Festival really does create a magical atmosphere in Gainsborough that is enjoyed by the local community and visitors alike. What a wonderful fun-filled way to head into Christmas.”

Car Parking is free from 6pm on Friday 15 November and all day Saturday 16 November in Council-owned car parks for the event.
