Purfleet-on-Thames light switch will be on Saturday 29th November.

The annual start to the festive season will start on the green near the beacon and Royal Hotel.

This is arranged and funded by Purfleet-on-Thames Community Forum.

Our sponsors are Sanctuary Housing and Ensignbus. As has become a tradition, we will have complimentary sausage rolls, mince pies and mulled wine, courtesy of our local labour Councillors. Donations are welcome. Thames Opera Co. will be back to lead the carol singing.

This year we have a Christmas Market starting at midday, organised by Purfleet-on-Thames Community Hub and Pantry. Come and meet Santa, many stalls.

Christmas starts here!
