Christmas Lights Installation and Removal

Description

Kenilworth Town Council provide an annual programme of illuminations in the centre of the town (mainly Warwick Road / Station Rd and Abbey End) and in the High Street. The focus of the illuminations is two annual "Light Switch On Events." These usually take place on the last Friday of November in the High St and the following Sunday in Warwick Rd. The dates for the Light Switch On's in 2024 are Friday 29th November and Sunday 1st December.
