Brighton Christmas Festival Kicks Off with Glitter and Cheers
This afternoon, Brighton & Hove Mayor, Councillor Lizzie Deane, officially opened this year’s Brighton Christmas Festival with a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony. The city is buzzing with holiday spirit thanks to attractions like the Après-Ski Bar, a sparkling Ferris wheel, and a bustling Christmas Market.
Festive Fun Returns for Second Year
This is the festival’s second year delighting locals and visitors alike in Brighton. Shoppers can browse stalls packed with Christmas essentials — think British cheese, festive tipples to enjoy after dinner, sparkling jewellery, and charming gift trinkets perfect for last-minute presents.
Food, Drink and Winter Warmers
Refuel as you explore with a selection of food and drink stands. This year, the fabulous local Trading Post Coffee team serve up their famous brews, roasted just down Sydney Street. Not a coffee fan? Warm up with a rich hot chocolate — but be warned, it costs a steep £6.
Must-See: Ferris Wheel and Nearby Drinks
Take a spin on the Ferris wheel for stunning city views and soak up the festive atmosphere. The festival is open daily until Christmas Eve, making it perfect for a seasonal stroll. After your visit, we highly recommend popping into L’atelier Du Vin, an award-winning cocktail bar just yards away, as praised in a recent Sussex.News review.
