Mousehole > Switch On Date: Monday 12th December 2022

Mousehole Christmas Lights Please note that although Mousehole Lights will be lit this year, for reasons of safety and to avoid large crowds congregating in the village, the traditional Switch-on Night ceremony and Carolaire will not be held. Instead, there will be a “Soft Switch On” whereby the various displays in and around the village will be lit as and when they are ready with a staggered switch-on every night between the 12th December and the 17th December. On the 19th December, the lights will be dimmed between 8-9pm. During the 2018 lights display some individuals took it upon themselves to stop people as they were entering the village and ask them for an 'Admission fee' to see the lights. The people of Mousehole do not charge and hopefully never will thanks to the generosity of the voluntary contributions made by you to our collectors.
