Say hello to our Christmas Comperes
This year we have a treat for you all – TWO incomparable Christmas Compères!
From 12pm to 4pm our Town Crier will be on the mic introducing acts and helping the day’s entertainment run smoothly. Not that he needs a microphone with that booming Town Crier voice!
Then from 4pm to 6pm we have Former BBC Television Correspondent and Wellington native Clinton Rogers keeping us on track and belly-laughing in the run up to the lights switching on at 6pm.
We asked Clinton if he was looking forward to joining us and he said, “As a Wellington boy born and bred I am honoured to be asked to help compere the evening. It promises to be a huge amount of fun. And I promise to be on my best behaviour… well almost!”
Say hello to our Christmas Entertainers

We have lots of entertainment lined up for you throughout our event. From fire jugglers to school choirs on our main stage, there is something for every member of the family to enjoy!
