Round up the reindeer and get ready to jingle all the way – Durham is ready for the festive feeling!
November 24th sees Durham Bid’s Christmas Sparkle event come to the city with Durham’s 2024 Christmas lights switch on.
Christmas Sparkle is hosted by Hits Radio North East and kindly sponsored by the City of Durham Parish Council. From 5pm, Durham Market Place will be full of the festive fun, with live performances from local street entertainers and artists. And this year will be extra special with a visit from jolly Saint Nick himself.
It’s sure to be a stocking full of yuletide fun for the entire family as we inch towards the big day. All the Christmas excitement is bound to build up an appetite. Luckily, Walkergate has everything you need for a magical evening out.
A staple of Christmas, there’s food and drink aplenty at Walkergate with venues including Nando’s, Rio Brazilian Steakhouse and ASK Italian. Factor in ticketless, secure car parking that’s open 24/7 and a short walk from the festivities, and you have the perfect recipe for a magical family night out.
Head to Durham’s Market Place on Sunday 24th November from 5pm and join in with a Christmas cracker of an event!
