Round off November with the big Chorley Christmas Lights Switch-On alongside the Totally Locally Chorley Christmas Market in the town centre (from 10am). It’s a free, all-day community celebration — ideal for gift hunting, street entertainment and that first festive feel-good moment when the lights sparkle on. The council’s official event page confirms the date; final timings and stage details are announced there first.

Special guest, the Reverend Richard Coles will be doing the honours of turning Chorley's Christmas Lights On for 2025, joined on stage by representatives from Chorley FC. The stage will be hosted by Graham Liver from BBC Radio Lancashire.
