Step Right Up!

The Christmas Carnival is Arriving at Festival Place
Saturday 15 November | 10am - 6pm.

This Christmas, Festival Place is pulling out all the stops to bring families a season of sparkle, wonder and joyful surprises with its brand-new Christmas Carnival!

The celebrations begin on 15^th November when the centre will burst into life with a showstopping Launch Day. Children and grown-ups alike can enjoy the festive fun led by the Carnival Christmas Band, meet the cheeky Carnival Christmas Mice, and marvel at breathtaking circus acts — including the whirling Candy Cane Sisters and the mesmerising Christmas Carnival Juggler Supreme. Little ones will love joining the fun with mini musical parades, while families can capture magical photos with the towering Nutcracker Carnival Captain. And don’t miss a spin on the Christmas Carnival Prize Wheel, hosted by the colourful Ringmaster and Holly - there are festive goodies to be won and special surprises to be had!

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Each Saturday right up to Christmas, families can return to discover something new to enjoy:

• Creative Carnival Christmas Crafts - Make memories and keepsakes with hands-on activities. From crafting festive headdresses and juggling balls to joining in hula hoop fun, these sessions are perfect for creative kids (and parents too!).
• The Christmas Carnival Prize Wheel - The jolly Ringmaster & Holly will return - step right up and see what Christmas treat or special voucher you might win.
• Spectacular Circus Surprises — Look out for dazzling new acts each weekend, such as the towering Carnival Belles on stilts, the swirling Five Gold Rings Hula Hooper, and other magical roaming performers spreading festive cheer.

With so much to see, make and enjoy, the Christmas Carnival at Festival Place promises to keep the whole family entertained all season long.
