Mon 15 November to Fri 31 December
City Centre
A range of Christmas events and attractions for the City Centre have just been announced...
The 18m high (60ft) Christmas tree in Old Market Square will once again be the focal point for the cityâs Christmas events. There will also be a giant observation wheel to whisk visitors 33m up into the air, with stunning views over the cityâs rooftops. For those who prefer to stay closer to ground level, there is a new Après Ski themed pop-up bar, and a traditional carousel which will also light up the square.
The Helter Skelter bar will return to Smithy Row offering visitors a steaming mug of GlĂźhwein as riders slide down the traditional fairground favourite from above.
Traditional chalet style market stalls will be trading along Long Row and Smithy Row offering a chance for some alternative Christmas shopping with a choice of gifts, crafts, and speciality food.
Festive events will also spread to Trinity Square, where a specially-constructed Christmas Village with a number of food and drink options will see visitors entering via a Christmas Tree-lined entrance leading to a winter-themed setting that features a number of igloo-style glass domes.
