5:04pm Tuesday 8th November 2011 in Out & About By Jamie Ross

Nothing gets you in the festive mood quicker than a Christmas lights switch on and Bluewater will be providing a host of entertainment to make this year’s event extra special.

The 60-minute variety show will be headlined by one of this year’s X Factor finalists, Eli Prime. The boy band will perform their favourite track from the live shows, before switching on Bluewater’s Christmas lights.

For the little ones, CBeebies presenter Mister Maker, will be on stage throughout the evening as well as a free Santa’s Christmas Grotto, located in the brand new Plaza - visit www.bluewater.co.uk to book your complimentary tickets.

The show will end with a spectacular fireworks display but to round-off the evening you can always get started on the Christmas shopping at one of the 300 stores, treat the family at one of the 50 bars and restaurants or even preview the latest blockbuster at Bluewater’s 13 screen multiplex Showcase Cinema.

The event takes place on November 18 with festivities beginning around 5.30pm.
