Christmas Light Switch On & Market

November 28, 2025—November 28, 2025

Dickensian Christmas market

Don your top hats and bonnets and join us as we welcome the Christmas Season into Driffield with cheer, charm, and a sprinkle of magic.

Not even Ebenezer Scrooge can resist the scent of mulled wine and hot chocolate! Keep an eye out for Mrs. Fezziwig and Tiny Tim as they wander the festive stalls of our Dickensian Christmas Market.

So much to see and do

Look up as well – the glowing Snow-I-Deer Stilt Walkers will be lighting up Market Place with their sparkling charm.

Be sure to visit Santa’s Grotto, where Father Christmas will be taking a well-earned break from North Pole duties to meet all the good boys and girls.

The Fun Fair returns! Filling Middle Street with rides, treats and laughter.

Light switch on

Just before 7 pm, gather with us at the Plaza of Lights as we countdown with Great Driffield Radio for the Mayor of Driffield to press the plunger and officially light up our town’s Christmas trees, marking the start of a truly magical season.
