The activities commence from 11am, with roaming entertainers, face painting, choirs including the award-winning Epsom Rock Choir  throughout the day, leading up to the much anticipated Christmas Lights Switch-On from 4pm. This year our special guests from the cast of the Epsom Playhouse Cinderella Panto will be joining us at Ashley Centre for the official switch-on at 4pm, also joined by Ashley Bear and Santa.
