Liverpool’s iconic buildings are already getting into the festive spirit

With the festive season just around the corner, St George’s Hall and Liverpool Town Hall have unveiled their exciting Christmas programmes which aim to entertain the whole family.

At St George’s Hall there will be:

The Christmas Market, 15 November – 23 December, free entry

Taking over the plateau, the popular market makes its return, with a focus this year on food and drink.  Foodies will love the offer, including the Yorkshire Pudding Wrap stall which was a huge success last year. Those after a festive tipple can choose between the Tepee or Windmill Bar or the Gin Tin, and don’t forget the ski lodge and its karaoke cable cars. The market will be complete with beautiful festoon lighting and vintage fairground rides for the kids to enjoy.

Elf Adventure Challenge, 30 November – 24 December, prices from £5.50 to £13.50

Santa’s elves need some help this Christmas. Families are encouraged to join in the fun and complete toy-making and sleigh loading challenges, and enjoy some music and storytelling. This 50 minute interactive experience aimed at two to ten year olds and their grown-ups. Early booking is advised as this event is already proving popular.

 Carols by Lantern Light, 6pm 8 December, tickets are £13.75

Set in the stunning surroundings of the Great Hall, Mezzo soprano Danielle Thomas will join organist Professor Ian Tracey and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Chamber Choir in a magical night. With performances of classics such as Of Holy Night and Silent Night taking place in the glow of 100 lanterns, this event has a festive spirit guarantee!

Luna Winter Cinema, 17 December – 23 December, prices range from £6.50 to £13

The ultimate festive cinema experience returns to the Hall after its hugely successful inaugural year in 2018.

It’s a Wonderful Life, The Greatest Showman, Home Alone and Love Actually are just some of the films which will be screened. Refreshments will be on offer at the bar, including mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies.

At the Town Hall:

Story Time with Santa, 7 – 24 December, £16.25 per child

Father Christmas will take some time out of his hectic schedule and will join Buddy the Elf in sharing magical stories and songs in front of a cosy log fire. Lasting 45 minutes, two adults can attend free of charge with each child. Booking is recommended as a limited number of children can take part in each session .

For full details of all the events and to book tickets head to either the St George’s Hall website (www.stgeorgeshallliverpool.co.uk) or the Liverpool Town Hall website (www.liverpooltownhall.co.uk)

The Halls cost the city council £2million a year to operate, so all money raised from the Christmas programme of events will be invested back into these iconic Grade I listed buildings, to preserve and protect them for future generations to enjoy.
