The Big Switch on is taking place on the weekend of 14 and 15 November and Cambridge BID invites you to join them for the festivities. The fun begins on Saturday at The Grafton with a special appearance from everyone’s favourite porker, Peppa Pig. Heart FM will be there, too, to entertain the crowds until the lights are switched on at 4pm.
The fun continues on Sunday with circus performers throughout the city, various activities at Lion Yard and Grand Arcade, and entertainment from midday at the Market Square to include choirs, dance troupes, hula-hooping and a special performance from the Corn Exchange’s hilarious Christmas Show, Horrible Christmas.
This year we are delighted to announce that X Factor starlets and local girl band PYT will be turning on this year’s Christmas Lights. PYT are a local five-piece girl group who starred in this year’s series of The X Factor and have just recorded their first single: a cover of Beyoncé’s Rise Up. It is released on 13 November with all proceeds going to BBC Children in Need.
