This year, the switch on has been moved to Broad Street to allow the Georgian Christmas Fayre to be involved in the festivities. 

The market will also have handmade gifts, arts and crafts, and food and beverages from local vendors to help support local businesses and foster community spirit.

Police, fire service, and Worcestershire County Council are also set to be in attendance, and temporary road closures around Broad Street will be put in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Parking and road closures are still to be confirmed for the event.

Pershore Georgian Christmas Fayre will be delivered to the town by Pershore Town Council, Pershore Place Board and Wychavon District Council.
