Walkden Town Centre, in conjunction with Walkden Community, launches its full-on Christmas events programme next Saturday 24th November.
Walkden In A Winter Wonderland kicks off at 10am with magic shows, free balloon models, and a wide range of arts and crafts for children including slime workshops, lucky dips, hook a duck and face painting.
Santa arrives at noon, before welcoming visitors into his magical Christmas Grotto for a gift and photo souvenir (£5 entry), while shoppers will also be treated to live music performances by Harrop Fold School pupils, dance from AK Theatre Arts in Walkden and Worsley, and many other local performers.
Mulled wine, food and Christmas gifts will also be available from thirty stalls in the pop-up Christmas Market, located on the Link Mall and Egerton Walk.
"This is always such a special time of year for Walkden as the local community really gets into the Christmas spirit" says Julian Dow, Walkden Town Centre Manager "We're delighted to be working with the volunteers at Walkden Community again and would like to thank them for their enthusiasm, creative ideas and community spirit. Walkden in a Winter Wonderland is set to be one of our best Christmas celebrations yet."
