Christmas 2025 in Topsham starts here!

This year, the Christmas lights on the 28th November will include entertainment, the first of this year’s late-night shopping (the second will be on the 4th of December). The entertainment will start at around 4.00 pm, with the switch on at 5.00 pm after that, the shops will be open, the band will play, Otter Morris will dance around Fore Street, and the Christmas Market will again be held at St Margaret’s Church with 30 stalls packed with potential Christmas gifts, mulled wine and mince pies and the choir.

Once again, FORCE will be helping us keep everyone safe and making a collection; they will be accepting cash and cards.

This year, we cannot run any events on the Quay as we have assessed this as not safe for the number of people.

Love Topsham Christmas Raffle

Love Topsham are running a raffle as the start of a year of fundraising for new Christmas Lights in 2026. The current lights have done us well over the past few years, but are now beginning to fail. The businesses in the town have been very generous with prizes for the hampers.

Raffle Tickets available at £1 per strip at

Saturday Market on 15th November

Christmas Market on 28th November

Tickets drawn at the end of the Love Topsham Christmas Market on 28th November

Imagine if everyone bought 5 raffle strips at £1 each for the new Christmas Lights; Topsham Christmas 2026 would be the sparkliest yet. If you want to make a separate donation for the lights, please contact us at lovetopsham@gmail.com
