Winter Wonderland

​

Santa is back!!  ðŸŽ…🎅
We are lucky that Santa has agreed to attend this 25th anniversary Dickensian Christmas Festival.  He can be found in the big red bus in our special Winter Wonderland area at the top of Brogden Street outside the Roxy Cinema and Laurel and Hardy Museum.  Santa has had the elves working hard wrapping gifts and he will be available between 10 and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Along with Santa you'll find our snow globe with our mystical Snow Queen as well as a chance to enjoy some family fun on the ice rink.
Perhaps we'll even get some snow!! 

 

Street Performers

​

Strolling players over the weekend will include Garry Gifford, Astral Circus, Inner State, Alastair Fleming, Andy Jester, Danielle De la Wonk, The Great Mandavi, The Rhubarbs, and members of Ulverston Amateur Operatic Society.
