The return of At no.25 Christmas Installation - from 11am to 4pm

Back by popular demand, we see the return of Culture Warrington’s  At No.25 Christmas Installation from last year  but with a slightly different twist for 2022. Artists Erica Wilkinson and Lauren Muir have created a festive Nordic inspired   space that will feel safe, comforting and fulfilling - a magical space that will encourage a moment of peace, calm and creativity in the busy Christmas shopping period, that facilitates the meeting of both friends and strangers. We will also add some magic by exploring some festive Nordic folklore characters and workshops throughout December.

*Situated in Golden Square, next to Costa.

Father Christmas and his sleigh - from 1.30pm to 6pm

Father Christmas will park his sleigh in town with his Reindeers (props), so you can take a seat and snap a precious memory. Father Christmas will be exploring the town centre and what we have on offer, chatting to all our children and finding out if they are on the naughty or nice list.
 

Street Entertainers - from 3pm to 6pm  

Special guests will be joining us on the streets of Warrington from 3pm. We have all your favourite Christmas characters including Santa’s Elves, the grinch and a few surprises
 

A Spectacular After Dark, light & sound show – from 6pm

 A magical light and sound show of a festive story celebrating Christmas and New Year will be projected across the front of the Town Hall building from 6pm on 26 and 27 November.

The festive show projection will last 15 minutes on a rolling basis until 9pm, so that passers-by who arrive near the end won’t need to wait long to see it start again.

The bespoke animation produced by Culture Warrington has been specially designed for Warrington by Double Take Projections, and will fit perfectly into the stonework of the Town Hall.
