Fleetwood Christmas Festival Weekend
For the first time ever there will be two
days of family festive fun in Fleetwood with the town getting ready to host the
first Fleetwood Christmas Festival Weekend! A true festive extravaganza filled
with exciting events, live performances, amazing activities and more!
Wyre Council, in partnership with
Fleetwood Town Council and the Festive Lights Committee are hosting a variety
of festive celebrations across the town. On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 November,
residents and visitors will be able to experience all the magic of the season
across three locations in Fleetwood.
The Marine Hall and gardens has a magical
Festive Fayre starting each day from 10am. Filled with delicious festive food
and drinks, Christmas crafts, gifts and more, it’s perfect for your Christmas
shopping! There will be a festive funfair, Christmas-themed walkabout theatre
acts, live singing, competitions and lots more to experience. The event will
close at 4pm so that families can get ready for the annual Festive Lantern
Parade which starts at 5pm on 27 November, from Fisherman’s Walk/Ash Street and
arriving back at Marine Hall at 6pm for the incredible Festive Lights switch on
event. These events are free to enter with free parking available.
Be sure to also visit Fleetwood Market on
Saturday 27 November, where you can buy lots of Christmas gifts and experience
a wonderful winter wonderland with a huge interactive snow globe. Get your
family and friends to come along and take a magical photo of you all inside the
globe. You’ll also be treated to some traditional Victorian Carol singers
performing delightful festive hymns throughout the day as well as our very own
Harmony and Health singers performing all the Christmas classics you love!
Fleetwood Market is open from 9am until 4pm.
There will be a free heritage bus service
running every 20 minutes on Saturday 27 November between Fleetwood Market and
Marine Hall making it easier for you to visit both venues and experience the
magical festive fun!
There’s only one place to visit Santa
this year… The Mount Pavilion will undergo a true festive transformation to
become Santa’s Grotto on Sunday 28 November from 10.30am until 3.30pm. Santa is
flying in with his reindeer and his excitable elves to provide an incredible
experience for all the little ones excited to meet Santa in his home for the
season. Tickets are only £5 and all children will receive a special free gift
from the big man himself. Tickets will be available to purchase from Marine
Hall Box Office from 10am Thursday 11 November or over the phone 01253 887693.
Cllr Lynne Bowen, Leisure, Health and Community Engagement Portfolio Holder exclaims,
“We are beyond excited to host Fleetwood Christmas Festival Weekend this year,
with the events and activities scheduled set to be a real festive delight for
everyone in the town.
“The Festive Lights events are always a
joyous occasion and with lots of additional exciting activities organised for
everyone to enjoy, Fleetwood Christmas Festival Weekend is sure to be a weekend
to remember and a chance to create some magical memories for our residents and
visitors to the town.
“We are pleased to be able to organise such an
amazing array of festive fun, with the weekend offering everyone a real chance
to get into the Christmas spirit and enjoy the most magical season of the
year.”
These events are funded by Wyre Council
and the ERDF Welcome Back Fund in partnership with Fleetwood Town Council and
the Festive Lights Committee.
