HSDC have confirmed for the second year running their lead sponsorship for Portsmouth’s Christmas Lights Switch On events that will run from 21 – 23 November this year in Commercial Road, Southsea and Cosham.
The annual city-wide countdown to Christmas festive family fun begins with three days of sparkling events happening in Portsmouth’s high streets that include Christmas Lights Switch On Parties, Carols and the We Shine Art and Light Festival where key locations will be transformed into a night-time gallery.
The event in Commercial Road is on Saturday 23 November 4-6pm, and will be hosted by Greatest Hits’ Mark Collins and starring stars from the Kings Theatre’s Dick Whittington including Lorraine Stanley (Eastenders) and George Sampson (Britain’s Got Talent), Portsmouth FC heroes, a cast of local performers and a special visit from Father Christmas.
HSDC is proud to be the lead sponsor for this event for the second year running and said:
” HSDC is delighted to once again sponsor Christmas in Portsmouth. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the festive spirit. We’re investing in the magic of the season and the opportunity for families and friends to create lasting memories!”
Councillor Steve Pitt, Leader of the council with responsibility for Economic Development said:
” We have a great lineup of festive events throughout Portsmouth to kick off the Christmas season. Our generous main sponsor, HSDC, has once again stepped up to make our Christmas Lights Switch On events possible. I encourage all residents to join in the fun and support our local high street businesses.”
