On Sunday 17th November, we head to Market Square to turn on the city centre lights.
The annual Big Switch On kicks off Christmas season this year with Star Radio taking control of stage, promising to entertain the crowds from midday. There will be a lively line up from local performing arts clubs, choirs and much much more.
We are working with Bright Horizons this year to deliver The Big Switch On. Bright Horizons is a market leader in early years education, providing care and education to children aged between 3 months to 5 years, across almost 300 nurseries in the UK. With 2 new nursery openings in Cambridge based on the Biomedical Campus and Milton Road, growing their Cambridgeshire portfolio to 10 beautiful settings, with teams they are hugely proud of.
Leah Dunne-Kealy Talent Acquisition Manager at Horizon says “We wanted to sponsor this year’s Christmas lights switch on, as we are always looking for ways to connect with our local community and promote the early years sector as a rewarding and important careers path – for anyone who wants to make a difference to the next generation. During a time of celebration, where connection and family is really evident, this felt like a great partnership opportunity.”
