The Guide to Planning your Christmas in Bromley
The festive period is already on the horizon, and for those planning ahead, here’s a look at some of the Christmas events and experiences happening in Bromley to explore this year.
Christmas Events in Bromley
Christmas celebrations officially begin for the Bromley community with the annual Christmas Light Switch-on, taking place on the 15th of November 2026. No need for a ticket, with free admission to The Glades and High Street, the event offers a host of festivities, including live performances from local school choirs, dance groups, and bands, before the main switch-on and a fireworks finale light up Bromley.
The Bromley Court Hotel begins its own Christmas decorating on the 9th of November, setting the scene for a series of Festive Lunches and Festive Afternoon Teas that begin just a week later, on the 16th of November. Taking place within the Garden Restaurant, overlooking the beautiful grounds of Bromley Court, the events make for a wonderfully wintry day-out to enjoy alongside friends and family.
For your evening activities, the local Churchill Theatre, just a 25-minute walk away from The Bromley Court Hotel, is continuing to contribute to Bromley’s Christmas magic with its string of festive shows. In particular, the Step Into Christmas – Concert Spectacular, running from the 25th–26th November, offers an evening of Christmas classics, complete with a live band, for the whole family to enjoy.
Beyond the festive concerts, The Bromley Court Hotel is also presenting a series of live music nights running in the build-up to Christmas, featuring a two-course meal, half a bottle of wine, and tribute performances celebrating some of music’s most iconic artists. From George Michael to Freddie Mercury, and for the Mamma Mia fans, a special Donna & the Dynamos act, the nights are a fantastic treat for friends, family and colleagues.
But if live music isn’t your thing, you can put your detective skills to the test at The Bromley Court Hotel’s Murder Mystery nights, with the panto-themed ‘Snow Fright and the Panto’Crime Mystery’ running on the 20th of November, and a special 1920s whodunit ‘A Crooked Christmas’ taking place on the 15th of December. In between a three-course meal you’ll gather clues, question suspects and piece together the mystery, making for an exciting evening.
However you begin your Christmas celebrations, Bromley and The Bromley Court Hotel are ready for you, with a variety of festive days out and special evenings to enjoy with family, friends and colleagues, making it easy to find something for everyone this Christmas.
