Janine GriffithsGipton is set to shine bright this festive season as the community comes together for the annual Festive Lights Switch-On at The Old Fire Station on Friday 28th November, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm – with the big switch-on at 7pm.
The much-loved community hub will be transformed into a warm and welcoming space filled with live performances, family activities, and refreshments, bringing together residents young and old for an evening full of laughter and celebration. There’s even a special visit from everyone’s favourite Elf, guaranteed to bring extra festive magic for the little ones.
Funded by local councillors Salma Arif and Asghar Ali, the event promises to be a heartwarming celebration of community spirit in the heart of East Leeds.
Speaking ahead of the event, organisers said they were delighted to host this year’s switch-on at The Old Fire Station, adding: “Join us for an evening full of warmth, laughter, and holiday spirit as we light up the area and mark the beginning of the celebrations.”
The evening aims to not only light up the streets but also the hearts of local residents, providing a space for families, friends, and neighbours to connect and celebrate the start of the festive season together.
Residents are encouraged to wrap up warm, bring their festive spirit, and join in the countdown to the moment the lights sparkle to life.
