The main event sponsor for the Christmas Lights Switch On is Everyone Active.

 

Thank you to the Sheringham Carnival Christmas Lights Group, the Carnival Volunteers and the people and businesses that assist with putting this event on.

It takes a lot of volunteer time, effort and organisation to get the lights up, arrange the activities and manage the Christmas Lights switch on.

Even with all this voluntary effort, it costs £1000’s of pounds to have this Christmas Lights Switch On, and events like this are only possible with your generous support.

Please donate to Carnival funds if you can – Thank you.
