Yateley's Christmas market and lights switch-on is Saturday 28 November at Church End Green, free entry. Times are TBC; last year it ran 3pm to 6pm.

Yateley’s Christmas market and lights switch-on is on Saturday 28 November 2026. Yateley Town Council lists it in its community calendar as the “Yateley Christmas Market and Lights Switch On”, run with Yateley and District Lions. Entry is free. The 2026 times have not been published yet: the calendar says “details TBC”.

The council describes the event as the annual Christmas market at Church End Green, with market stalls, the Christmas light switch-on and live entertainment. The Lions hold it outside the Dog and Partridge pub on the last Saturday in November, and 28 November is that Saturday this year.

What last year looked like

The 2025 market was on Saturday 29 November, from 3pm to 6pm, outside the Dog and Partridge. The Lions’ listing for it reads: “As usual, we will be hosting our very popular Christmas Market outside the Dog and Partridge Pub on the last Saturday in November. Last year we had record numbers to this popular event.” (Yateley and District Lions, Christmas Market 2025)

The 2023 market ran to the same 3pm to 6pm pattern. Expect something similar this year, but treat those as last year’s times until the Lions or the council publish 2026’s.

Frogmore switches on the night before

Frogmore has its own Christmas lights switch-on on Friday 27 November 2026. The town council lists it with Frogmore Infant and Junior schools, St Barnabas Church, Spring Pre-school, and Girlguiding Frogmore and Darby Green District as partners. Details are TBC. The council’s most recent write-up of the Frogmore switch-on also records a Friday, 24 November. (Yateley Town Council community calendar, Christmas Light Switch On, Frogmore)
