Can you spot yourself in the crowds at the Oldham Christmas Lights Switch-On 2024?
The article highlights the successful Oldham Christmas Lights Switch-On 2024, featuring special guests like Bluey, Coronation Street star Peter Rush, and local boxer Aqib Fiaz. The event included funfair rides, a festive stage show, fireworks, and the GlowBus art exhibition.
Bluey danced beside Council Leader Crooj Shah and Mayor Zahid Chauhan as thousands of residents crammed into Oldham town centre for Wednesday night’s Christmas lights switch-on, a fireworks-tipped celebration that also lured Coronation Street’s Peter Rush and hometown boxer Aqib Fiaz to the stage.
The free event, which began with funfair rides and the GlowBus touring art exhibition from Stand and Be Counted Theatre, peaked when the BBC pup joined Oldham RLFC mascot Roary Roughyed, panto stars and professional fighter Fiaz to count down the illuminations. “It was great to see so many smiling faces lighting up the town,” organisers said after the sky erupted in colour above the civic square.
