The Banned

Nov 2025

Earlier this week, we kicked off Rotherham Councils Christmas lights switch on, a much-anticipated event that brought together the community in a festive atmosphere. The event was filled with excitement as families gathered in the town center, eagerly awaiting the moment when the lights would illuminate the streets. With music playing and the scent of seasonal treats in the air, attendees were treated to a magical experience. As the countdown began, the excitement grew, and when the lights finally flickered to life, gasps of delight echoed through the crowd, marking the official start of the holiday season in Rotherham.
