Christmas is officially just around the corner now as Dover Town Council ushered in the season with their spectacular Christmas Lights Switch-On on Saturday 5 December. Biggin Street naar Market Square was tot leven met kraampjes, entertainment en vakantie juichen. De heersende winden geen mensen ervan te weerhouden coming out en de toetreding in de festiviteiten. The indoor market in the former Claire Accessories provided a warm oasis of activities and craft stalls. Van 12:30 naar 4:30 there was a packed programme of music and Christmas cheer galore on the main stage area in the Market Square. De echte rendieren waren dit jaar terug op de Grote Markt en de omgeving van Newfoundland Splashpals betaalde 's middags een bezoek aan Market Street met hun kerst Rijtuigen. The climbing wall proved a popular addition to the day and with Santa on hand in his grotto to listen to all the youngster’s requests, de stad kon niet meer feestelijke geweest. After a full day of happiness and merriment, The Town Mayor of Dover and the Casts of the Dover Theatrical Christmas Pantomimes joined the Dover Community Radio Roadshow to turn on the Christmas illuminations at the stroke of 5, lighting up the town and marking the start of the holidays.
