Two Christmas trees for Wanstead as festive lights switch-on moves

WVD November 2026 — wanstead lights

Wanstead will have two Christmas trees this year, with the main festive lights switch-on moving from George Green to Christ Church Green.

Celebrations will take place on 20 November from 4pm, with live entertainment and – as is tradition – an appearance by local milkman Steve Hayden.

Organisers Vision RCL say the move follows a safety review, with the growing event needing a larger space. A second tree will be installed on George Green as usual, with its lights to be switched on earlier in the day.
