Greenwich Lights Up, December 5th from 3pm, Greenwich Market
See the Christmas lights in Greenwich get switched on by the cast of Greenwich Theatre’s “Jack In The Beanstalk” on Friday December 5th. The fun starts at Greenwich Market at 3pm, and then at 4pm a magical lantern procession will make its way from the Old Royal Naval College along to the market, via the Cutty Sark Gardens Christmas Tree of Light.
Mayor of Greenwich Cllr Steve Offord, will then join the panto cast for the official switch on at 4.30pm.
In anticipation of the event, the Mayor said, “Greenwich Lights Up is always amongst the borough’s most popular festive events and I’m sure it will prove to be a great occasion as always. On a personal note, it will be a great honour for me to join the cast of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ to help switch on the Greenwich Market Christmas Lights and I would like to encourage everyone to make the effort to come down and enjoy the start of the wonderful festive season in Greenwich.”
Santa will be in his grotto in Greenwich market from noon to 7pm, with a gift for every child.
