Saturday 21 November | 3pm - midnight

Leicester is lighting up for Christmas - and we're starting the festive season properly.

On Saturday 21 November, Christmas Starts Here at Merchants Yard.

From 6pm, The Winter Tipi becomes our home for the festive season, with drinks flowing, DJs playing and that first proper feeling that Christmas in Leicester has arrived.

Come down after a day in the city, meet friends for festive drinks, grab a table with your group and stay as the afternoon turns into Saturday night.

Expect an early-evening Christmas atmosphere followed by the familiar Merchants Yard party energy as we head towards midnight.

Not full Christmas chaos just yet. Consider this the warm-up.

EXPECT:

Festive drinks in The Winter Tipi

DJs from afternoon into the night

Christmas favourites mixed with familiar Saturday-night music

A winter setting in the heart of Leicester city centre

The lights are on. The tipi is open.

Christmas starts here.

Merchants Yard, Leicester Saturday 21 November 3pm - midnight 18+
