Hunstanton Town Council is calling on local businesses to bring festive magic to the seaside town with this year’s Christmas Wonderland Light Switch-On, set for Sunday, 30 November. The all-day celebration, running from 10:00 AM until 5:15 PM, promises to turn Hunstanton’s town centre into a glowing hub of community spirit and Christmas cheer.
Shops, cafés, and local traders are invited to play their part in lighting up the season by decorating their windows in dazzling festive style. The competition for the Best Dressed Window Display will reward creativity and Christmas sparkle, with prizes of £100, £50, and £25 to be donated to each winner’s chosen charity. Winners will be announced at 4:45 PM, just before the highly anticipated light switch-on at 5:00 PM.
The event is designed to celebrate Hunstanton’s businesses while spreading joy throughout the community. Visitors and residents alike can look forward to a festive atmosphere filled with colour, laughter, and the comforting glow of holiday lights. The day will mark the start of the Christmas season, with snow-topped decorations and twinkling displays creating a welcoming scene for families and shoppers.
Hunstanton Town Council hopes the Christmas Wonderland Light Switch-On will showcase the creativity and warmth of its local businesses. Participating shop owners will not only have the chance to win prizes but also to draw in new customers and help create a memorable experience for everyone attending.
The Council has long been committed to supporting local enterprise and community life. Through events like the Christmas Wonderland, it continues to encourage collaboration, pride, and shared celebration among the people of Hunstanton. This year’s festivities promise to make the town shine brighter than ever, inviting everyone to join in and make it a truly magical start to the season.
