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.
