Christmas Lights In Leicester City Centre - Christmas In Leicester

Leicester City Center came to festive life as the annual switching on of the Christmas lights took place in the 21st November 2019. Come with me as I take a look at the atmosphere of switch on evening in Leicester City Center, There`s lot's to see from the brightly lit tree containing 2000 lights and 900 baubles and 16,000 lights around the city bringing festive cheer to all ages. Enjoy sparkling stilt walkers and brass bands in various locations around the city and see the traditional nativity scene and diorama in the Town Hall square, the film ends with Leicester Cathedral ringing out it`s bells to mark the start of the festive season in the city.

Christmas Lights Switch On - Christmas In Leicester 2018

In the second of my films documenting Christmas in Leicester I take a look at events in the center around the clock tower and town hall square. We start by the clock tower where we see the tree in all its glory equaling and maybe surpassing the famous clock in height and grandeur. A fairy shows us her magical levitating globe, before we visit town hall square where we meet once again the snow queen and her neon birds navigating the town hall steps. The beautiful and elegant  Christmas Belles are nearby balancing on stilts and meeting visitors whilst the instantly recognizable (to many a Leicester resident) Seasons Greetings lights flash behind fixed to the Queen Anne style town hall.
