Friday 9 December to Sunday 11 December 2011.
The Evening Mail has joined forces with Barrow Borough Council to organise a festive spectacular over a three-day period. It will start at noon on Friday December 9, when traditional log cabins lining Dalton Road, selling food and traditional gifts, will open for business. There will be a full festive programme of entertainment on a stage at the Spirit of Barrow statue, where Dalton Road and Portland Walk meet.
Christmas is a magical time, but not only for children. The Christmas Market will help everyone get into the festive spirit with Santa and his reindeers for the children and yummy festive food and mulled wine for mum and dad.
The town centre will be the focus of activity with charming wooden chalets in Dalton Road and festive entertainment not only in Dalton Road but also in the Town Square.
Many town centre stores will be open for late-night shopping on the Friday, and shops across the town and the indoor market will be open on Sunday December 11.
One of the highlights of the three-day event will be the Santa Parade, which will set off from Abbey Road and see Father Christmas and his reindeer snake through the town centre to the town hall.
In front of the town hall will be a traditional fairground, nativity play, Santa’s grotto and a food and licensed area. And at regular intervals, snowflakes will fill the air as a snow cannon is activated.
The market will close at 8pm on the Friday. It will open from 10am-5pm on Saturday December 10 and on Sunday December 11 it will open from 11am until 4pm.
