This year, the illuminations will be delivered by Gala lights; who were selected to design and install all the lights around the town for the next three years.

Gala lights specialise in programmable, twinkly, colour changing technology with 3D capabilities that enable changes to be made each year. All the lights can be reused, which will help Crawley Borough Council to become more sustainable.

These events include carol singing in the Memorial Gardens on Saturday afternoons throughout December, a festive soundtrack from Ensemble Reza on the 11 December and a festive fayre in the high street on the 11-19 December.
