Manchester's spectacular Christmas lights switch-on show will once again light up Albert Square this November. With one of the most family friendly line-ups in the history of Manchester’s Christmas celebrations, this year’s light switch-on show, in partnership with Key103, will have something for everyone – packed with stars, amazing performances and a suitably grand finale. Manchester’s switch-on party will officially open six weeks of festive celebrations and attractions that have made sure Manchester is well known as the Christmas capital of the UK. Comedy favourite and true Mancunian Jason Manford is leading the star line up and will be joined by rising stars Collabro – the singing quintet who won this year’s Britain’s Got Talent competition. Hollywood superstar Warwick Davis will also appear ahead of his fantastical appearance in the Opera House’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starting on 5 December. Stars of the sensational hit production of Shrek the Musical will appear on stage before the swamp-dwelling ogre treads the boards at the Palace Theatre from 2 December. Local X Factor star and singer Shayne Ward will perform, alongside stars of the future, The Piccadillys. The brand new girl group were the winners of a talent competition by Key 103 to find the next chart toppers – and Shayne was part of the judging panel.
