Festive stalls will line the streets of Fareham on Saturday 24 November (10am – 8pm) to Sunday 25 November (10am – 6pm) for a weekend of fun.
Royal guests, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, will join The Mayor of Fareham, Cllr Susan Bayford on the performance podium at 4.30pm on Sunday November 25 for the official light switch on.
Father Christmas will appear at the family friendly event, as well as fun festive activities including fair rides, free face painting, reindeer, Victorian stilt walkers and policemen on penny farthings, arts and crafts and food and drink stalls.
