The festive season is nearly here, and our local towns are getting ready to light up. Here are the dates for 2026, checked with each town's official listings.
The Farnham Christmas Lights Switch On takes place at Gostrey Meadow, Union Road, from 1pm to 6pm. The lights are switched on at 4.30pm.
The Aldershot Christmas Cracker fills the town centre from 12pm to 5.30pm. The countdown to the Christmas lights switch on starts at 5.10pm in Princes Gardens.
The Fleet Christmas Festival runs from 2pm to 9pm. Full details are on the festival website, www.fleetchristmasfestival.org.
Alton's Christmas Light Switch On runs from 3pm to 7pm, with market stalls across the town. The lights go on at 5pm at the Assembly Rooms and 5.45pm in Market Square.
For schools that follow the council term dates in both Surrey and Hampshire, the autumn term ends on Friday 18 December 2026 and the spring term starts on Monday 4 January 2027. Academies and independent schools can differ, so check with your school. If you are planning a winter getaway, now is a good time to book your airport transfer.
