Santa to Visit Oakham for Christmas Light Switch-On

Get ready to spread some Christmas cheer! Santa Claus himself will be making a special stop at Oakham Market Place this Sunday to help with the annual Christmas Light Switch-On.

Santa and his trusty elves are set to arrive at 3 PM and will be staying until 4:30 PM. At 4 PM sharp, Santa will join Mayor Paul Ainsley to officially illuminate the town with festive lights.

Oakham Town Council extends its sincere thanks to the Lions Club of Rutland for organising this magical visit from Santa during his busy schedule.

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to meet Santa and experience the festive spirit of Oakham!
