Santa's Arrival

Join us on Saturday 15th November for our annual Christmas parade as we welcome Santa in true festive style. 

Gather your family and friends and join the celebration:
🎅 Santa’s parade through the centre starting from the South Piazza
🎶 Festive music & Christmas cheer

This year, we’re turning up the magic with a Charlie's Christmas Carnival - a full-scale celebration that brings the wonder and excitement of Christmas to life!

✨ From 9am, the festivities begin in the South Piazza with carnival fun for the whole family. 
Enjoy FREE fairy floss, popcorn, face painting roaming entertainers and performers.

🎅 At 10am, the moment everyone’s been waiting for - Santa arrives! Watch as he leads a spectacular parade through the centre, spreading festive cheer as he makes his way to his brand-new Carnival-Themed Santa Set.

🤹‍♀️ After the parade, don’t miss a special meet and greet with the performers at the Santa Set from 11:30am - the perfect chance to snap a photo and soak up the carnival atmosphere.

It’s going to be a day of colour, laughter, and Christmas magic - and you won’t want to miss a moment.

Join us at Charlestown Square and be part of Santa’s grand arrival in carnival style!
