The festive event will be spread across five days
It’s been confirmed there will not be one big Christmas lights switch-on in Exeter this year.
Instead, the festive event will be spread across five days, when lights will go live in all quarters of the city
The new format, described by organisers as the ‘five nights of lights’, will take place across the city from the 13th of November.
It’s described as having Exeter’s residents and visitors “at their heart - celebrating the city’s heritage, culture, its vibrant businesses and putting the city at centre stage”.
Funded by InExeter, the city’s business improvement district, both Five Nights of Lights and an ongoing programme of entertainment, illuminations and festive celebrations leading up to Christmas, will give residents and businesses an extra festive flavour this Christmas.
Ann Hunter, InExeter manager said; “This year we are proud to celebrate our city with the new Five Nights of Lights event. This new format sees InExeter celebrate all quarters of the city and encourages people to explore and discover the different areas of Exeter. The 2019 festivities look set to bring a new Christmas experience with the city our stage.”
