Get Ready for Christmas in Dartford

The clocks may have only just gone back, but we're already very excited to tell you about our full calendar of festive fun.

We kick things off next month with the Big Christmas Switch On taking place on Saturday, November 15, expect a lively Brewery Square with performances from local acts, tribute performances, a special visit from Orchard West's pantomime stars and a packed High Street market.

With that, our Christmas activities get into full swing.

Tickets are still available for Santa's House, where Acacia House is transformed into a winter wonderland for families to enjoy. View the dates for Santa's House.

Building on the success of our first night market earlier this year, we'll be hosting a special evening Christmas market on December 5.

As we head into December, the festivities ramp up with Father Christmas climbing aboard his red fire engine and travel across the borough for Santa on Tour from December 7 to December 22. Find out more about Santa on Tour.

If you're looking for a peaceful, calming way to ring in the festive season, come and join us for the Carol Concert at the Outdoor Theatre on December 10. Tickets go on sale November 10 so make sure to check back in, and remember to wrap up warm!
