Bolton Christmas Festival

Bolton Christmas Festival

Roll on Christmas- Bolton turns into a magical winter wonderland with a roller-skating rink, traditional market stalls and Santa’s Grotto.

For this year’s festival, we have planned four weeks of seasonal family fun which is sure to offer something for everyone!

This year’s main attraction will be the new indoor roller-skating rink in Crompton Place. Opening on 15th December, until the 8th January, the rink will be a fantastic family friendly attraction offering school sessions, group bookings and themed nights.

The tipi bar will be making a much welcomed return to  Bolton for this year’s festivities from the 9th Decmber, until the 8th January. It will also play host to a variety of performances, from amazing local bands and artists to community choirs and carol singing.

This year, Santa’s Grotto will be based in Crompton Place on the weekends of 3rd-4th and 10th-11th December, and then from 15th-24th December. This will follow on from last year’s COVID-safe “Virtual Santa’s Studio”, allowing children to meet Father Christmas in person and receive a gift.

Victoria Square will also welcome a traditional Christmas market from 15th-18th December with 30 chalet-style stalls offering a wide range of gifts and tasty treats!

Traditional fairground rides will also be available from 3rd December, until the 8th January, stretching from Newport Street to Deansgate.
