Christmas Saturday’s in Burnley

The Christmas spirit continues in Burnley this weekend with another jam-packed day of festive fun and entertainment. Look out for The Grinch who will be up to no good and see if you can spot Santa himself.

With Ice Fairies, a balloon artist and even a live band there is something to get everyone in the festive spirit.

Festive Preston

Winckley Square Gardens will become a festive paradise this weekend, dance around in the interactive snow globe, pose for a picture with Father Chirstmas’ sleigh and even get your face painted.
