Tips & Advice

  • Let children make their lantern at the free craft table before the sing-along, so they have one ready to carry in the lantern parade.
  • Stay for the Dickens sing-along, because the lantern parade follows straight after it and children can walk along with their own lanterns.
  • Bring a phone or camera if you want a photo with Santa, who is at the market alongside the stalls and the sing-along.
  • Come with your list of missing Christmas, winter, party or gift items, because the stalls focus on exactly those last-minute purchases.
