This year, we’re doing things a little differently in Oxted… Following feedback from families and businesses, we are moving our main Christmas event – entertainment, shopping and lights switch-on to a more family friendly Saturday afternoon.
The Oxted Family Christmas event will take place on 23rd November 2024 from 2-6pm or thereabouts (!) with procession and lights switch on at 5pm.
We will have your favourite street entertainment, including the Ice Men Jugglers, Living Snow Globe and Gliding Fairies, Christmas characters, Santa (and Santa’s Grotto at Morr & Co), Snow Globe photo dome, street food and much more!
