You may have spotted several festive items in High Wycombe recently, and that’s because the annual Christmas Light Switch On is now just days away.

The festivities will take place on Saturday, November 16 from 12noon, with the main event occurring at 6.30pm.

The guest of honour will be a player from Wycombe Wanderers, but it hasn’t been confirmed which name will officially turn on the lights.

The traditional Christmas family event will be packed with entertainment, featuring children’s rides, gift & craft stalls and even the chance to meet Santa himself.
