About

Kick off the festive season with a wholesome Christmas themed day out for all the family!


Join us from midday in Castleford to explore the speciality market with a festive twist, treat yourself to some street food and enjoy our family entertainment including a giant snow globe as well as fairground rides!


The stage entertainment with local acts and community groups will kick off from 3:30pm and carry on throughout the afternoon until the main switch on of the towns lights at 5:30pm.


Don’t forget to pop into the indoor market hall to place your festive orders and check out the North Pole Letter Box where you can post all your letters to Santa!


This year’s Light Up is part of Our Year Wakefield District 2024, a year-long programme of breath-taking spectacles, unique festivals and community-led activities that celebrate all the Wakefield district has to offer.
