Christmas in Kettering 2023

Christmas in Kettering 2023 is looking festive!

We are organising the lights switch on, which will be held on Thursday 23 November which will see the tree in Market Place illuminated along with the rest of the town's festive lights.

The event will also feature a range of local performers, musicians, artists and actors. We will also have lots of street food stalls as well as craft stalls and market stalls for you to start some Christmas shopping.

On Saturdays during November and December we will be running Christmas markets and will feature a mix of street food and drink, produce, artisan gifts as well as live music and entertainment.

The first market is on Saturday 25 November with subsequent events on 2, 9 and 16 of December.

Traders can also apply to have a slot at the event when bookings open on Monday 4 September on our markets page.

As well as these events, we are teaming up with the Newlands Centre where you can meet Santa at the Elf Station on weekends during December. More information about this will be here soon.
