Christmas Lights Event 2025

The annual Bury St Edmunds Christmas Lights Event takes place in 2025 on Thursday, November 20th, from 3pm to 8 p.m.

This date coincides with St Edmund’s Day. Bury St Edmunds takes its name from King Edmund, the original Patron Saint of England and King of East Anglia, whose shrine at the Abbey of St Edmund was once one of England’s most famous and wealthy pilgrimage sites.

The magical transformation will begin when the sun sets, and there will be a variety of charity, craft, and gift stalls along Cornhill and the Buttermarket. We will have various FREEE street entertainment available, along with fairground rides and live stage performances by local school and artists.

The Bury St Edmunds Christmas Lights Event is brought to you by Our Bury St Edmunds Business Improvement District and supported by Shop Safe.

More details for this event will be announced later in 2025.
