A one-evening Victorian-themed Christmas market, with rides, stage entertainment and the lights switch-on, in Warwick's Market Place.
Every year on a Thursday in late November, Warwick's Market Place and the streets around it host the Victorian Evening, a free afternoon-and-evening event that is also the town's Christmas lights switch-on. It marked its 40th anniversary in 2023.
Stalls, fairground rides and street entertainers fill the surrounding streets, while the Market Place has a stage with a brass band, a choir, panto and live music. Visitors are encouraged to come in Victorian dress, and there's a best-dressed competition on stage. St Mary's Church holds a display of more than 50 Christmas trees and a short carol service.
In 2026 it runs from 3pm to 9pm on Thursday 26 November, with the lights switched on at 7pm. Several town-centre streets close to traffic for the day.
