Christmas Lighting

Christmas Lighting for Towns, Councils & Estates in London, Surrey & Hampshire

Festive street lighting, Christmas tree lighting, light trails and switch-on events, designed, installed and maintained by our own crew.

Christmas lighting turns a high street, market square or country estate into somewhere people want to be. It brings shoppers into town after dark, gives families a reason to visit and makes a place feel looked after. Done badly, it's a string of tired bulbs that fail halfway through December.

Peachy Productions designs, installs and maintains Christmas lighting across London, Surrey and Hampshire from our warehouse in Aldershot. We work with councils, business improvement districts, shopping centres, hotels, venues and estates, handling everything from the first design to the final removal in January.

Christmas lighting for town centres and high streets

A town centre scheme needs to look festive, stay safe and work every night for six weeks or more. We design and install:

• Festoon and catenary lighting across streets and squares
• Lamp post motifs and column wraps
• Illuminated arches and entrance features
• Building façade and architectural lighting for town halls, churches and landmarks
• Projection and gobo displays on buildings

We plan around the realities of public spaces: traffic management, access times, rigging at height and working with council highways and lighting teams.

Christmas tree lighting

From a single feature tree in a market square to an avenue of trees on an estate drive, we light trees so they glow from every angle. We wrap trunks and branches with warm LED lighting, uplight the canopy, and add toppers and features that make the tree the centrepiece of your festive display.

Christmas light trails

A Christmas light trail is one of the most effective ways to bring visitors to a garden, park or estate in winter. We produce complete light trails: route design, lighting installations, power, ticketing, marketing, toilets, security and stewarding, then full removal and making good afterwards. You provide the site; we handle the rest. → Talk to us about a light trail (/contact-us/)

Christmas light switch-on events

The switch-on is often the biggest night of the year for a town. We provide the stage, sound, lighting and LED screens for the countdown, live music and guest appearances, along with power, crowd barriers and event management, so the night runs safely and the lights come on exactly on cue.

Christmas lighting for hotels, venues and businesses

Festive lighting helps hotels, venues, shopping centres and office buildings stand out through December. We light entrances, façades, courtyards and trees, and create Christmas party lighting for venues hosting festive events.

How our Christmas lighting service works

1. Site survey: we visit, measure up and check power, fixing points and access.
2. Design: we produce a lighting plan with visuals, so you can see the scheme before it's installed.
3. Permissions and safety: we prepare risk assessments, method statements and any permissions needed for highways or listed buildings.
4. Installation: our crew installs everything, often overnight or out of hours to avoid disruption.
5. Maintenance: we check the scheme regularly and fix faults quickly through the season.
6. Removal: we take everything down in January and leave the site as we found it.

Why choose Peachy for Christmas lighting

Christmas lighting designed by event lighting specialists: Lighting is where we started. We bring the same creative eye to a high street as we do to a ballroom, including architectural projection like our work on the tower and nave of Guildford Cathedral.

Power and installation handled in-house: We supply generators and power distribution where there's no mains supply, and our own crew installs and maintains every scheme.

One team for lighting and events: Lighting, switch-on event, stage and sound all come from one team, with one point of contact.

Christmas lighting across London, Surrey and Hampshire

We install Christmas lighting across London; throughout Surrey, including Guildford, Woking, Farnham and Camberley; and across Hampshire, from Aldershot, Farnborough and Basingstoke to Winchester and the New Forest.

Christmas lighting FAQs

When should we book Christmas lighting? Most town centre schemes are planned over the summer, with installation in November. If you're planning for this year, get in touch now; for next year, start the conversation in spring.

Do you buy or hire the Christmas lights? Both options are available. Many councils hire a scheme each year, which avoids storage and maintenance costs; others prefer to buy and have us install and store it.

Can you install lights on lamp posts and buildings? Yes, subject to permissions and structural checks. We work with council highways and lighting teams, and with building owners, to install safely.
