Weymouth BID’s investment in Weymouth’s FIRST ever month long BIG Christmas festival, 4th-31st December, is set to entertain locals and visitors with a 21-day programme of activity and Weymouth’s first real ice rink, as well as excite businesses with dazzling sponsorship opportunities.
Weymouth’s BIG Christmas, held from the 4th-31st December, is going to give locals and visitors a real Christmas experience and extend the celebrations with an exciting programme including weekend events leading up to the 25th starting with the BIG Christmas Shownight on Friday 4th.
Suggestions from local retailers and business made regarding previous Christmas events were that the two day Shownight should be extended to increase activity throughout December. Weymouth BID has acted upon this to create Weymouth’s BIG Christmas.
The festival will have a 21-day programme with weekend events including partnering Weymouth Pavilion to create a ‘pop-up panto’ and, after the success of June’s Out Loud Festival, a collaboration with the Weymouth and Portland Lions Club for a Christmas Out Loud weekend. On 4th December Father Christmas will arrive in town escorted by his two reindeer to the special grotto which has been created in Cineworld where he will take up residence until the 24th. The real ice rink will be open until the 23rd with schools and groups open to take bookings during the week, reservations can be made at the Weymouth BID.
