Ah, Christmas in Northampton! There’s nothing quite like the festive cheer that fills the air as the town transforms into a winter wonderland. This year, Northampton is pulling out all the stops to ensure you and your family have a magical Christmas season.
Kick off the festivities on Saturday, November 22, with the Christmas lights switch-on at Market Square. It’s a day packed with free fun, including live performances, kids’ crafts, and a Christmas Silent Disco. Don’t miss the panto celebrities preview and the grand lights switch-on at 4.55pm. It’s a perfect opportunity to support local artisans and charities while soaking in the festive spirit.
For those little ones eager to meet Santa, the Grosvenor Centre Grotto is a must-visit. Launching on the same day as the lights switch-on, children can meet Santa for just £2 per family, with proceeds going to local charities. Remember to pre-book your slot for a magical encounter!
From December 4, glide into the holiday spirit at the real ice rink in Market Square. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a beginner, the rink offers something for everyone, including themed DJ sessions and lessons. It’s a delightful way to embrace the season’s chill.
On December 6, support local businesses during Small Business Saturday and enjoy a whimsical Grinch takeover in the town centre. Later, join in the festive sing-along at Carols on the Square, featuring local choirs and singers.
Finally, don’t miss the Chairman’s carol service on December 17 at All Saints Church. With celebrity readers and a fantastic musical lineup, it’s an event that promises to be both heartwarming and charitable.
As you enjoy these festive events, remember that we at James Anthony are here to help with all your property needs, ensuring your home is as welcoming as the season itself. Merry Christmas, Northampton!
