Christmas in Sevenoaks 2025

On Saturday 29 November, thousands turned out to enjoy a festive afternoon in Sevenoaks at the much-loved Christmas Lights Switch-On event, organised by the Town Council. Find out more about the event and see photos at Sevenoaks Christmas Lights Switch-On 2025. 

A huge thank you to our star level sponsors:

 

We were delighted to receive a fantastic array of creative artwork from talented young people aged 11 and under for our Design a Christmas Light competition. Thank you to everyone who took the time to create a design.

This year’s winner was Edeline, who drew a wonderful illustration of a Christmas Gonk – a whimsical figure with a long, bushy beard and pointed hat pulled over its eyes.

Read more about the winning design and the official switch-on. 

Thank you to Knocker & Foskett, as well as the Youth Services Committee, for sponsoring this initiative.
