From Hereford City Council:

“The main Christmas Lights in Hereford will be switched on as the City comes together during the evening of Sunday 20th November to begin the festive period, with a live show in High Town!

“Hereford City Council has just signed a contract for the annual Christmas Lights with Festive Lighting. The lights will brighten the City this coming Winter and will be of a new design with changing colours, and the plans have been coordinated in partnership with the owners of the Old Market shopping centre and Maylord Orchards, ensuring Hereford receives a unified theme across the whole centre of the city.

“The contract takes advantage of savings from using low energy technology and will be more cost-effective than previous iterations, resulting in no increase to the cost of the Christmas Lights.

“We hope to see you there on the 20th of November for a spectacular show which we hope will kick-off the Christmas period in style. Further details will be announced later in the year.”
