Join us for the Gloucester Docks Christmas Lights Switch On! There will be an official countdown in front of the Food Dock as we light up the Docks Christmas tree and the Food Dock Christmas Light Installations, ready for the festive season!

Thursday 13th November 2025
5:00pm - 7:00pm

With festive music, mulled wine and hot chocolate at the Food Dock, and a very special visit from Father Christmas himself, the Quayside will be illuminated with sparkling lights and festive cheer!

Come along, wrap up warm, and share in the joy of the season — because the festivities don’t truly begin until the lights come on!

This event was proudly created in partnership with the Rotary Club and Gloucester Docks, whose support has made this celebration possible for the whole community!
