VIDEO – Warrington Market launched its four fun packed weeks of festive celebration last night (Friday) with the first of a regular series of late night openings.
The programme of free festive fun got under way with four jam-packed weeks of special events, family entertainment and extended opening hours, including Sundays from tomorrow, December 2.
“aLIVE After Five” sees the market open up until 7pm every Friday until Christmas.
Each week there will be live music, hot food, festive drinks, kids seasonal crafts and plenty of shopping opportunities, with many stalls offering special “on the night only” discounts.
Helping the first night go with a seasonal swing were brilliant three piece local band, La Vie Bohème who entertained shoppers, drinkers and diners with their lovely harmonies.
Visitors were welcomed at the door by Twinkle Toes the Christmas Fairy courtesy of KP Kids Imagination Station.
Warrington Wolves under 19 squad were on hand to pass on rugby skills and tips with Wolfie and Super Bennie Westwood lending a hand.
For the children there were a series of seasonal craft activities to keep them entertained.
Continuing the seasonal market celebration today from December 1 – 22 will see the return of the only town centre Christmas grotto, as Santa sets up home inside the market, in aid on Warrington Disability Partnership.
Bring the children to visit Santa starting today and remember, it is free parking for 3 hours in the new multi story car park if you validate your ticket at the market.
The “aLIVE After Five” promotion and Sunday opening hours provide opportunities for those customers who would like to use the new temporary market, but may find it difficult during traditional trading hours.
