Warwick is set to get into the festive spirit this December with a Christmas Fun Day which is also taking place on Small Business Saturday.

The event will take place at both The Court House in Jury Street and in the market square on Saturday December 5 from 10am to 4pm.

Organised as a joint fundraiser for Warwick’s Christmas Lights and Warwickshire Air Ambulance, the Christmas Fun Day will offer festive activities across both locations, with the aim of supporting the town’s independent businesses and wider town centre economy.

At the Court House, visitors will be able to take part in a range of Christmas activities, including Santa’s grotto, Christmas stalls, a tombola, Christmas crafts and refreshments.

Warwick Town Council said it will “provide a warm and festive hub for families to visit throughout the day” and will also include opportunities to take part in activities while helping to raise funds for Warwick’s Christmas Lights and Warwickshire Air Ambulance.

Over in the market square, visitors will have the opportunity to get up close to the work of Warwickshire Air Ambulance, with photo opportunities with an elf alongside the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car.

There will also be a tombola and the chance to meet donkeys.

Adding to the Christmas atmosphere, horse-drawn carriage rides will run between the Court House and the market square.

Rides will be available for a suggested donation of £3, with donations contributing to the event’s fundraising.

With the event taking place on Small Business Saturday, organisers are encouraging people to make a full day of their visit to Warwick.

There will also be free parking in all Warwick District Council car parks in Warwick.

A spokesperson from Warwick Town Council said: “Whether it’s meeting Santa, browsing Christmas stalls, taking part in crafts and fundraising activities, meeting the donkeys or getting a festive photo with the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

“We are hoping the event will not only raise valuable funds for Warwick’s Christmas Lights and Warwickshire Air Ambulance, but also encourage people to shop local, support Warwick’s businesses and enjoy everything the town has to offer this Christmas.”
