Enjoy the sights, sounds and spirit of a nineteenth-century Chrismas brought to life by costumed Victorian townsfolk, authentic decorations, real Christmas trees, and seasonal greenery adorning the town.

Explore the decorated shops and streets. Listen to carol singers performing at the music hall where you can join in with a festive sing song.

See domestic demonstrations in the cottages. Enjoy freshly baked goods in the Bakery, and warm up with fish and chips in the Chip Shop. Watch horse harnessing demonstrations in Saw Mill Yard, and take part in a Christmas-themed tour from outside the Boys Brigade. You can even see it snow (every hour!) in Canal Street.

Families can also enjoy a host of festive activities throughout the town. Write a Victorian letter to Father Christmas, print your own Christmas posters, and take part in two seasonal trails (a small additional charge applies for the trails and posters). Alongside these hands-on experiences, visitors can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the thrill of the fair during weekends and school holidays.
