Romford's biggest ever Christmas launch throws the spotlight on the family on Thursday 13th November when the town's Christmas illuminations are switched on by the World's most famous cartoon family - The Simpsons.Supported by Havering Council and Romford's four shopping centres - The Brewery, The Liberty, The Mall and Romford Shopping Hall - the launch features a packed schedule of fun and entertainment in Romford Market Place hosted by Mark Dover from Time 107.5 FM, Havering's popular local radio station.
Starting at 4pm there'll be appearances by Homer, Marg and Bart Simpson, Acrobats from Tanzania, Fire Dancers from Australia and, of course, Father Christmas with Frosty the Snowman and Rudie the Reindeer. And big TV screens flanking the stage will ensure that everyone gets a good view of the fun and frolics.
At 6pm the excitement will build to a climax when the The Simpsons step forward to trigger the switch to light up Romford Town Centre with spectacular Christmas illuminations, accompanied by a fabulous firework display complete with guaranteed snowfall.
On a more traditional note and to get revellers in the festive spirit, there'll be toe tapping music from The Dualers, appearances from characters from the Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch's pantomime Dick Whittington as well as carols sung by the Choir of St Edward's Church.The celebrations and party atmosphere will continue until 8pm in each of the shopping centres.
At The Mall Santa and his team will meet and greet his friends; at The Brewery the Simpsons will enjoy some family shopping; in The Liberty there'll be shows by the Black Eagles and the Amazing Titan the Robot; and in the new look Romford Shopping Hall clowns and balloon modellers will be on hand to entertain youngsters until 6pm.
