Christmas in Cardrona 2025: A new twist on a Festive favourite! 🎄

We are so excited to share what is in store for Christmas in Cardrona 2025 — and it is shaping up to be something truly special!

This year, we are bringing together the beloved Christmas Lights Switch-on and the popular Christmas Makers Market for one big, magical celebration that everyone can enjoy.

🕯️ Christmas Lights Switch-On - Informal Gathering

📅 Mon 1st December 2025 🕔 Lights on at 5:00pm

The Christmas Lights will still be switched on at 5pm on Sun 1st December on the Village Green — however, this is not an organised event. Anyone who wishes to come along individually to see the lights go on is very welcome to do so.

🎄 Please note: While the lights will be turned on as usual on the 1st, our full Christmas event will happen a few days later.
