Christmas Market and Light Switch-On Event
Love Urmston (powered by Urmston Partnership) is proud to present this year's Christmas Market and Christmas Light Switch-On event.
The Christmas Market opens at noon, with a wide selection of stalls alongside delicious festive food and drinks. There will also be a children’s fairground, face painting, Santa’s grotto, lantern decorating and plenty of entertainment.
Live entertainment starts from 2:30pm, building up to the Christmas light switch-on at around 6pm.
Keep your eyes peeled for a very special visitor from the North Pole! Santa will be stopping by, so come and meet him for a small charge in his grotto and receive your gift. Don’t forget to bring your wish list…
