This year’s Winterfest Programme includes lots of exciting new additions to the popular festive events.

The Christmas Market on November 17 will feature a new ‘Local Crafter Corner’ with a series of stalls located at the top of the North Vennel selling a range of crafts and goods made by local craftmakers.

Also for the first time, the Illuminated Lanimer Parade on November 23 will be led by a “Fire Eater” – a spectacular the Trust says is not to be missed.
