Book your trip to Canterbury to enjoy a truly special Christmas experience with the festive light parade and market opening!

The date for our annual festive light parade has been announced so you can expect a spectacular city centre parade as the lights are switched on, award-winning shop windows glisten, and the traditional German-style Christmas market opens in both the city centre and within the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral.

The light parade will take place on 15th November 2024 with a parade through the streets and into the Cathedral grounds, with music and entertainment planned for all ages. More details will be added nearer the time.
