Join in the Festivities along Merchants Way

November 2022

Christmas is just around the corner and we have some dates for the diary to fire up those festive feelings! All events are free.

Friday 25th November
As the evenings get darker, we want Merchants Way to shine as bright as it does in the day. So, we're dressing the walkway with some twinkling Christmas Lights. The fabulous Christmas Decorators will also be replacing our autumnal leaves display with a lit winter garland on the archway by Pascal Street.

Friday 2nd December 4-7pm
Join us for a festive Friday on Merchants Way. Enjoy some tasty treats from Mission Kitchen's Frankie's Brownies and Tart Tart Quiche to the sounds of seasonal feel-good music from the talented All Star Steel Band. You might even see the Fred & Ginger Christmas Trees from the Bureau of Silly Ideas serving up a surprise performance! Looks can be very deceiving, so be nice to them, if you’re not, mayhem may will ensue - remember Christmas trees have feelings too!
