Warminster Christmas Celebrations 2024: Independent market and lights switch-on event

Warminster is preparing to host its biggest ever Christmas celebrations on Saturday 30^th November, from 10am to 6pm. The Warminster Business Network (WBN) in conjunction with Warminster Town Council has finalised exciting plans with roads once again closed in the town centre and a record number of 130 stalls across the High Street, Market Place, Weymouth Street and in the Civic Centre in Sambourne Road.

There will be a mixture of the best makers, food producers and old favourites with the independent market open until 6pm, encouraging a full day of shopping and trading. Christmas festivities will be spread across the town. There will also be a packed entertainment schedule live on stage at the top of the Market Place ahead of the eagerly anticipated lights switch-on at 5.30pm.

The Civic Centre market in Sambourne Road will run until 4.30pm, with more than 30 stalls, Santa’s Grotto and food and drink.

The day is set to be a real Christmas celebratory extravaganza with the opportunity for residents to also explore the many Warminster shops and services. Shops will be extending their opening hours, giving visitors the perfect opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts.

The town takes a great deal of pride in its annual Christmas lights switch-on with an exciting atmosphere planned as we countdown to the big day.
