Enjoy a free festive weekend at the Gainsborough Christmas Lights Festival with laser light shows and much more family fun!

Get into the festive spirit and head to Gainsborough for a weekend of Christmas celebrations at their Christmas Lights Festival this November. 

Embark on a nostalgic journey with a chair-o-planes and enjoy a ride on the Vintage Swing Boats. Capture the perfect Christmassy moment inside a Giant Snow Globe, and be mesmerized by the dazzling lights that will illuminate each evening.

The entertainment doesn't stop there—experience the talent of local schools and community groups on stage, performances from the festival's headline act Band From County Hell, and a live DJ will keep the festive vibes alive, as will the street theatre throughout the festival.

As you walk through the festival, pass by the balloon modelling station, and explore food, drink, and gift traders to pick up the perfect present for your friends and family. There will also be a special post box to send your letters to Santa in time for the big day, too!
