Dartford’s Big Christmas Switch On is ready to kick off a busy festive season of events in the town.

Orchard Theatre pantomime stars Bobby Davro, Regan Gascoigne and George Shelley will all be appearing on November 19th to help light up the town for Christmas.

They’ll be joined on stage by The Worshipful the Mayor of Dartford Cllr Paul Cutler, Father Christmas and this year’s colouring competition winner to turn on the lights at around 5:20pm.

Visitors will be able to see Britain’s Got Talent finalist Tom Ball sing live, while Netflix’s Heartstopper actor Robbie White will also be performing, along with Madness tribute band Los Palmas 6, and a Taylor Swift tribute.
