THE countdown is on for the Great Grimsby Christmas Festival which will take place on Saturday November 22.
Between noon and 7pm, St James’ Square, Riverhead Square, Grimsby Minster and Freshney Place are likely to be bustling with festive activity.
Highlights are set to include:
* Live pop music from local talent including Spencer Booth, Palm Trees of Venice and Lola & The Cosmic Gateway.
* Traditional seasonal carols from All For One Choir, Grimsby Symphony Orchestra, Back to Brass and more.
* A Merry Makers’ Market featuring handmade gifts, crafts, and seasonal fare from local traders.
* Free Face Painting from JelliNelli.
* Winter Wonderland - hosted by Santa, elves and snow princesses.
The events are being sponsored by Newlincs Development, who are paying for the tree, windfarm giants Ørsted and Keepmoat Homes which has recently been granted planning consent for a housing development on the banks of the River Freshney.
Another feature of the grand festive event will be Have A Heart Campaign, inviting gifts for local children who might otherwise miss out.
