Glynneath Christmas Lights Switch On

Celebrate the start of the festive season at the Glynneath Christmas Lights Switch On, a free, family-friendly event on Monday 25th November. Perfect for all ages, this evening promises to bring the community together to enjoy a warm and festive atmosphere.

The celebration begins at 5.40pm at Llys yr Ysgol with an uplifting performance of Christmas carols, setting the mood for the evening. Shortly after, the magical moment arrives as the Glynneath Christmas Lights are officially switched on, bathing the town in a sparkling festive glow.

Santa himself will make an appearance, adding even more excitement for the children. The Town Hall opens its doors at 5.45pm specifically for children with additional learning needs (ALN) to meet Santa in a calm and friendly environment. To ensure the best experience, it’s recommended to book tickets in advance for this session by getting in touch with Glynneath Town Council.

For families arriving after the light switch-on, no pre-booking is required to visit Santa’s grotto. Simply pop into the Town Hall and wait your turn for a chance to share Christmas wishes with Santa and make magical memories.

This community-focused event offers the perfect opportunity to get into the festive spirit while enjoying the company of friends, family, and neighbours. Whether you’re singing along to carols or admiring the dazzling Christmas lights, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
