Bexhill Old Town Christmas Weekend
Santa & his Reindeer Friends
Visit Santa’s Grotto, tell the man himself what you would like for Christmas and have your picture taken with his Reindeer. Each day from 10.45 – 16.00 at the Cloisters. In order to avoid long queues at the Grotto, a ticketing system will be in place during peak times. Father Christmas will also be going for his lunch at 13.00 – 13.45.
Craft Stalls, Book Fair & activities
After visiting Santa’s Grotto, why not get some refreshments and explore the Christmas market at St Peter’s Community Centre (Saturday only).
Entertainment Venues
Check out what’s happening at St Peter’s Community Centre and the Manor Barn with our events programme. Additional childrens’ craft activities will be taking place throughout the weekend at the Blods Hall.
Outside Areas
Fun for little ones with Steve Nutters’ Old Time Funfair, located in the Manor Gardens. Watch out for children’s entertainer Andy Bosco, who will be performing around the Old Town all weekend. Hot food and refreshments will be available at the ManorBarn and St Peter’s Community Centre.
