It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our town centres! Join us to celebrate the most wonderful time of year at our free festive family event General Gordon Square and Beresford Square this November.
Enjoy a magical light installation, follow festive art trails, join local performers for Christmas singalongs, and little ones can get stuck into free activities, workshops, arts and crafts with local arts organisations.
Plus, pick up unique gifts and treats from local market traders and swap sleigh for funfair rides, with a selection of children’s attractions.
With thanks to Bay Media, Marlborough Highways and Mulalley for supporting the Royal Borough of Greenwich Christmas town centre events.
