Father Christmas Storytelling!
…At Darwen Christmas Lights Switch On 2023
We’re super excited to announce that Father Christmas himself will be returning to Darwen Market this year. He went down an absolute storm during the 2022 Christmas lights switch on celebrations, and we can’t wait to welcome him back to our town. Here’s what you can expect from Father Christmas this year…
He may be very busy…
- Checking Lists
- Preparing Gifts
- Checking Lists (Again)
- Feeding up the Reindeer
- Polishing his Boots!
But he is never too busy to visit to pop up with his favourite Elves at Darwen Market as part of the 2023 Christmas Light Switch On activities throughout the town.
With a sleigh full of silly stories and a last minute chance to check which list you could be on, Father Christmas welcomes you to a Winter Warmer of silly giggles, noise and nonsense!
A 60 minute show that includes a chance for everyone to have a photo with Father Christmas.
Come and join us at either 10.30am, 12.30pm or 2.30pm on Saturday 18 November when Father Christmas will be in residence at Darwen Market Activities Hub.
The event is free but you need to pre book, so move quickly to secure your place. Space is limited so please ensure you have booked tickets for your entire group (adults included). Babes in arms do not require a ticket.
Book here.
