The Big Reveal – Saturday 15th November

This year is extra special — it’s the 10th Big Reveal!

Join us as East Grinstead’s wonderful shopkeepers unveil their magical 2025 Christmas window displays.

Here’s what to look forward to:

  • Public vote for the best display – Take a festive stroll through town, admire the beautifully decorated windows, and cast your vote for your favourite!
  • Father Christmas will be joining us once again in his grotto, thanks to the East Grinstead Lions.
  • Late-night Christmas shopping with many of East Grinstead’s fabulous shops staying open.
  • Live music & entertainment – At 4:30pm, the East Grinstead Concert Band will kick off the festivities on the High Street.
  • Christmas Lights Switch-On – At 5pm, the Town Mayor and Reverend Luke Whiteman will share a special Christmas message and officially switch on the town’s Christmas lights (including the tree!). Shortly after, shopkeepers will unveil their festive windows — all at the same time (fingers crossed!).
  • High Street Disco & Rock Choir performances will keep the festive energy going all evening.

The High Street & London Road will be closed until 8pm, giving everyone plenty of space to enjoy food stalls, music, and late-night shopping.

Bring your friends, family, and your festive spirit for what promises to be a magical evening in East Grinstead.
