Old Town Christmas Lights: Installation Starts This Evening

From this evening (Monday the 2nd of November), our contractor will begin installing the Old Town Christmas lights. Work is expected to take approximately a week.

To minimise traffic and disruption, work on the highway will take place overnight. We understand this may cause some slight noise for nearby residents, and apologise for any inconvenience.

Streets affected:
📍 High Street
📍 Devizes Road
📍 Wood Street
📍 Victoria Road
📍 Newport Street

To help keep noise down, the team will be communicating by radio and using hybrid lifting platforms that can run on electricity, reducing engine noise. Any work away from the highway will take place during normal working hours.

The Old Town Christmas lights are enjoyed by thousands of people every year, and we're looking forward to bringing them back for the community this Christmas.

🎄Save the date: Old Town Christmas Festival!🎄
Sunday the 22nd of November, 1pm – 6pm

Join us on Wood Street and Victoria Road for a Christmas market, funfair, live music, festive food stalls and family entertainment, all building up to the big countdown when the lights are switched on!

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
