Targetfollow are excited to bring the festive season to The Pantiles. From November 18th to December 24th, witness the transformation as our historic colonnade becomes a winter wonderland, promising an exquisite blend of joy, lights, and magical moments for the entire community.
In this week’s blog, we’re exploring what we can expect from this year’s Christmas events on The Pantiles.
The Big Reveal
The festivities start with The Big Reveal – an enchanting community event that captured the hearts of 1,500 visitors last year. Originally conceived by the Zero Waste Company, this initiative has now evolved into a community-wide celebration. Starting November 16th, with a festive pre-show at Royal Victoria Place at 2pm, featuring the Royal Tunbridge Wells Round Table pulling their sleigh in support of Nourish Community Food Bank & Mayor’s Toy Appeal.
The Big Reveal continues on November 17th, exploring Mount Pleasant, the High Street and Chapel Place. The grand finale unfolds on November 18th at The Pantiles, where the historic streets come alive with a cascade of events. From a bustling Christmas market starting at 10am to a series of enchanting performances and a meticulously planned light switch-on – it’s a day filled with festive cheer.
