The Mayor of Kempston is extending a warm invitation to all Bedfordians to join the community to switch on the town’s festive lights this weekend.

Kempston’s Christmas light switch-on will take place outside the Saxon Centre on Sunday, 1 December at 5pm, with the festive family fun beginning at midday.

Choirs, dhol drummers, gospel singers and the fabulously festive Kempston Concert Band will provide the entertainment alongside Lissie Allsopp who will be singing Christmas favourites ahead of the big switch-on.

There will also be children’s fairground rides and festive stalls.

The Mayor of Kempston, Councillor Mohammed Nawaz, said: “We look forward to welcoming people to Kempston on Sunday. There will be lots of fun for everyone.”
