There’s not long to go now until the Leicester Christmas Lights Switch On and Canteen will be on hand in New Market Square with the best food, drink and a few extra surprises!

Yes, on Thursday 21 November Leicester is getting festive! From midday right through to 10.30pm there’ll be awesome street food from traders including our favourites, The Gravy Train Poutine and Fat Snags, plus the Council Festivals & Events team and Leicester Market will be launching the outdoor cinema in New Market Square with a screening of Elf at 4.30pm. Plenty of time to catch the full film and enjoy some dinner before the lights switch on.
