Holsworthy Christmas Switch-on

Holsworthy Town Council held its annual Christmas Switch-On on Saturday 29th November 2025.

The event was a great success and very well attended. The Square was filled with festive cheer, with an outdoor Christmas market, fair rides, stilt walkers, Santa’s Grotto, an indoor market in the Memorial Hall and much more.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and to all the volunteers who gave their time to help make the event happen!

Thank you Paparazzi Parrish for the Photographs.
