Stages, PA, lighting and big screens for Christmas lights switch-ons, bonfire nights and town-centre events, planned with councils and committees.
The whole town in one place
- Christmas lights switch-ons
- Bonfire & fireworks nights
- Town & city councils
- Christmas markets
- Parish & community events
- Shopping centres
A Christmas lights switch-on or bonfire night brings the whole town out, often in the dark and the cold, with a countdown everyone needs to see and hear. The stage, sound and screens have to work first time.
We supply outdoor staging, PA that reaches the back of the crowd, stage lighting, and LED screens for the countdown, sponsor messages and live camera shots of the stage. Our crew plans power, weather and crowd sightlines with your events team and safety advisers, and runs the show on the night. These dates book up early, so get in touch well ahead.

Questions & answers
Christmas Lights Switch-On & Bonfire Night FAQs
Can't find your answer? Call 0115 939 2151.
Can you run the countdown on a big screen?
Yes. We can put a countdown, sponsor messages and live camera shots of the stage on LED screens the whole crowd can see.
Do you work with councils?
Yes. We plan with council events teams and safety advisers, and provide the information they need for the event plan.
When should we book?
As early as possible. Switch-on and bonfire dates cluster on the same few weekends in November, so they book up months ahead.
