We’re nearly there! Just ONE more sleep until Blantyre’s Christmas Switch on Event is back!
Time to get into the festive spirit as the community gathers at Glasgow Road and Blantyre Leisure Centre tomorrow, Saturday 14th November 2026. A few last-minute reminders before tomorrow:
Getting there: Please walk or use public transport where possible. Parking at the Leisure Centre is very limited, so leave the car at home if you can!
The raffle: £1 per strip and CASH ONLY. The raffle will be drawn around 2:30pm, so don’t leave it too late to get your tickets! What do you win? YOUR chance to switch on the whole town’s lights!
Doors open at 1pm! Come along and enjoy our indoor Christmas market inside the Leisure centre with an incredible array of amazing Christmassy Stalls. Don’t forget many vendors only accept cash. Why not drop by the sensory space and don’t forget there’s stories with Mrs Claus until 3.30pm
Live stage performances also kick off at 1pm, so there’s plenty happening from the moment the doors open! We can’t wait for an afternoon of festive fun, community spirit and a little bit of Christmas magic.
See you tomorrow, Blantyre! Let’s light up our town!
