Llangollen to come alive today with its Christmas Festival

Llangollen will come alive with festive cheer today as the town hosts its popular Christmas Festival.

And organisers say it will be a magical day filled with stalls, music, a parade, children’s activities, and the spectacular Christmas light switch-on and fireworks finale. 

The festivities begin at 10am on Centenary Square, where visitors can browse Christmas stalls, enjoy live entertainment, and soak up the seasonal atmosphere. 

Families can look forward to a range of fun activities throughout the day, including Siôn Corn’s (Santa’s) Grotto, children’s play and circus skills, and plenty of festive treats.

 

One of the highlights of the day will be the Christmas parade at 1pm, bringing colour, costume, and community spirit to the streets of Llangollen. 

The celebrations will continue into the evening with the Christmas light switch-on at 5pm, followed by a fireworks display to round off the day in spectacular style.

 

Adding extra excitement is the grand raffle, offering a chance to win a selection of fabulous prizes generously donated by local businesses and supporters. 

The top prizes include £200 in shopping vouchers and a child’s mountain bike, alongside luxury hampers, dining experiences, unique local crafts, and festive treats. Raffle tickets will be available throughout the day, with proceeds helping to support the Air Ambulance, community projects and future festival events.

 

A spokesperson for the Christmas Festival team said: “The Christmas Festival is one of the highlights of the year for the town. It’s a chance for everyone to come together, celebrate community spirit, and welcome the festive season in true Llangollen style. There’ll be something for everyone – from little ones meeting Santa to families enjoying the lights and fireworks.

 

"With local traders, crafts, performances, and festive food on offer, the day promises to be a joyful celebration for residents and visitors alike."
