The magic of Christmas will be brought to life on the Market Square every Saturday leading up to the big day. Join us at the Christmas Bandstand for live festive entertainment including musical performances from local singers, choirs, bands and community groups.
On Saturday 17 December, we have teamed up with V and B on St Giles Square to host a festive sing-along around the Christmas tree. From 11am - 4pm there will be performances from carol singers and local musicians – the perfect backdrop to your Christmas shopping on the last Saturday before the big day! Festive Line Up COMING SOON! Keep your eyes peeled for Santa's mischievous elves! 'Elves with Altitude', Vince Pie and Russell Sprout are on a very special mission - to spread the gift of laughter with their 'Rudolph' upgrade biplanes (Rudolph the red-nosed plane-deer!) Checking whether you've been naughty or nice (or borderline!), the magical 'Good-o-Meter' Elves will be joining in the festivities too ticking off their list for Santa.
Join us for a good old Christmas Party at the end of what is set to be a very festive day on St Giles Square. There will be carol singers out on the front from 11am, singing you through the last Saturday before the big day.

Do you believe in fairies?
We do – and so we’re thrilled to announce our 2024 Christmas Pantomime, Peter Pan.
The classic tale of the boy who refused to grow up is a traditional favourite and for Christmas 2024 we are proud to present a swashbuckling spectacular for all the family.
The star cast is to be announced, and there will be some fantastic opportunities for local young performers as we start the search for lost boys and pirates!
