Pantomime stars from Aladdin will help transform St Albans into a Whole New World when they switch on St Peter’s Street’s Christmas lights on Sunday 18 November.
Organised and delivered by St Albans City and District Council, the Christmas Lights Switch-On promises to bring all the fun of the fair to St Albans.
The Mayor of St Albans City and District will switch on the lights at 5.30pm, helped by Phil Gallagher. Phil Gallagher is CBeebies’ Mr Maker and is playing Aladdin at the Alban Arena. They will be accompanied by Bob Golding and Jemma Carlisle who are also appearing in the pantomime Aladdin.
The fun begins at 11am with a children’s funfair, Santa’s Grotto and a Christmas Market featuring stalls selling gifts, hot food and drinks.
There will also be a jam-packed programme of entertainment hosted by Heart FM, starting with a DJ set from 12 noon. This will be followed by a series of performances from youth performing arts groups to get residents in the festive swing. There will be performance poetry, jazz Christmas classics, a sing-a-long and two large choir performances, with song arrangements in pop, Motown and gospel. Residents will then be treated to a section of entertainment with an oriental theme, featuring a dramatic Lion Dance. This will culminate in the pantomime stars from Aladdin, the Mayor, Cllr Eileen Harris and Santa taking to the stage for the Christmas Light Switch-On.
