MALDON Town Council has expressed its sincere thanks to the local businesses sponsoring Light Up Maldon 2026 and the town's Christmas lighting, helping to bring festive cheer to Maldon and create a memorable start to the Christmas season.

The annual Light Up Maldon event will take place on Thursday. 26 November 2026, from 5pm to 9pm, on Maldon High Street, with the Christmas lights switch-on at 6pm.

The popular community event brings residents, families and visitors together for an evening of festive entertainment, activities, stalls and Christmas celebrations.

A statement from the council says: "Organising an event of this scale, alongside providing and installing the town's Christmas lighting, involves significant costs. The support of local businesses is therefore invaluable in helping Maldon Town Council deliver the event and create a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

"Maldon Town Council would particularly like to recognise and thank its Platinum sponsors: Maldon Salt, Mitchells Jewellers, Mrs Salisbury's and Sark Restaurant, whose generous support is helping make this year's celebrations possible.

"The Council would also like to thank its Gold sponsors: Borough Carpets, Edward's Walk Ltd, Pocknells Wealth Management and Super Natural, for their valued contributions."

Town Mayor Cllr James Burrell-Cook added: "Light Up Maldon is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the start of the festive season. We are incredibly grateful to all our sponsors for their generosity and commitment to Maldon. Their support makes a real difference, helping us provide our Christmas lighting and deliver an event that residents and visitors can enjoy.

"It is fantastic to support local businesses and see them working together. We encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the celebrations and support the wonderful shops, independent businesses and hospitality venues Maldon has to offer."
