THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 6TH JANUARY 2012

The Christmas Lights on Regent Street have a glittering event planned for the opening night on Tuesday 8th November 2011. The seasonal new movie, Arthur Christmas, will be the main theme of the evening as stars from the film Bill Nighy and Ashley Jensen switch on the lights before performances from Kelly Clarkson and Matt Cardle. Heart 106.2's Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton will be playing the role of host for the evening and will be introducing the acts on stage - including The West End Gospel Choir and the cast of Thriller - at the junction of Regent Street and New Burlington Street. Regent Street's Christmas Lights are some of the most breathtaking in the capital, set off beautifully against the regal sweep of John Nash's architectural excellence. World famous British stores like Hamleys and Liberty sit alongside global stalwarts like Banana Republic, Gant and Armani Exchange on Regent Street, so once you've been wowed by the light display, you can enjoy some world class present shopping opportunities.
