Are you our Switch On star

In partnership with the organisers of the Christmas Lights Switch On, Preston BID, we are seeking nominations for a Proud Prestonian to switch on the city’s 2023 Christmas lights.

The free Switch On event takes place on the Flag Market on Saturday 18 November from 5.30pm, and will feature a packed show with a number of celebrities.

The Switch On Star winner will be invited on stage to speak to the event’s presenters in front of a huge home crowd, before helping to light up their city.

Nominations are open for Prestonians who have done some amazing things during 2023. We want to celebrate someone who’s a great community champion, and flies the flag for Preston. 

Last year’s competition was won by Georgette Jones, who was nominated for her ‘selfless and inspirational’ dedication to the homeless community.
