Surrey Switch On

The annual Surrey Switch On will be taking place on Monday 25 November, between 4.30pm and 5.30pm at the University of Surrey's Austin Pearce Piazza, when we’ll light up campus in time for the holiday season.

Get into the holiday spirit at our free event, as The Mayor of Guildford joins President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Max Lu and Students’ Union President, Liam White to press the big button to switch on more than 10,000 glittering lights to transform the piazza into a sparkling festive scene.

You can also enjoy live music and carols performed by the University of Surrey Chamber Choir and winter-warming food and drink from a selection of food vendors.

The light display will continue to bring festive cheer to our students who stay on campus over the Christmas holidays, as well as to the local community to enjoy.
