Brighton’s Christmas Festival Kicks Off with Mayor Lizzie Deane!
This afternoon, Brighton & Hove Mayor Councillor Lizzie Deane officially launched the city’s festive fun by cutting the ribbon on the 2023 Brighton Christmas Festival.
Winter Wonderland Action: Ferris Wheel, Après-Ski Bar & Christmas Market
Now in its second year, the festival lights up the city with a dazzling Christmas Market, a giant Ferris wheel, and the lively Après-Ski Bar. Fancy a festive spin? Check out our snap of the ride with the Mayor!
Market stalls brim with seasonal treats: from British cheeses and festive tipples to sparkling jewellery and charming gift trinkets perfect for Christmas shopping.
Food and Drink to Keep You Frostbite-Free
- Caffeine fix: This year, the brilliant local Trading Post Coffee supplies the brews from their nearby Sydney Street roastery.
- Non-coffee fans: A hot chocolate stand awaits, though beware – it’ll set you back £6 a cup.
- Snack stops: Plenty of food stalls keep your energy up for wandering the winter wonderland.
Why You Should Visit
The Brighton Christmas Festival is a well-organised, charming event ideal for a stroll, some festive shopping, and a whirl on the Ferris wheel. It’s running every day until Christmas Eve – so don’t miss your chance to soak up the seasonal spirit.
