Egremont Christmas Wonderland

26 November

Egremont will host it’s annual Christmas Wonderland and Copeland’s largest Christmas event when it returns this Sunday with a day filled with fun and festivities. With over 6000 in attendance last year, the event, organised by a group of volunteers, continues to go from strength to strength.

This year the celebrations kick off at 1pm with entertainment throughout the day from the much loved zoo (back with even more animals), the superheros and a surprise visit from the Star Wars characters, as well as over 50 stalls selling local produce, gifts and crafts just in time for Christmas. Of course, no Christmas Wonderland would be complete without the real Santa Claus, who will swing by with his reindeer, where children can visit him in his magical grotto.

The highlight of the event will be the Christmas light switch on, with live music and performances from the Egremont town band, community choirs, Whitehaven Theatre Group and local band, Collision. All topped off by a spectacular firework display at the castle.
