Christmas lights switch on details revealed

West Kirby Christmas Lights.

West Kirby Christmas Lights have announced details of their switch on this year.

It will take place at the plaza outside the Concourse on Grange Road on Saturday 23 November.

The fun starts at 4pm with mini fairground rides, stalls, live music plus a choir and young singers from West Kirby Primary School, before the lights are turned on at 6pm.

Rachel Kehoe from West Kirby Christmas Lights told us: “Volunteers are hard at work to raise the funds to light the 2024 Christmas lights in West Kirby, Caldy and Newton.

“Each year we must raise the funds to install, take down, store and insure the lights. We also need to replace broken and worn out lights.

“This year we need to replace some of our coloured fairy lights and some of our lamppost frames that light the Banks Road area.

“The Christmas lights group are always looking for new volunteers to help us. You don’t have to give lots of time. We have lots of small tasks that need to be completed, as well as some larger ones.

“If you can help please email westkirbylights@gmail.com.”
