Event information
We unveiled Salisbury Square this summer after more than a decade of planning and investment. Its mix of office, retail and creative tenants has already made it a lively destination for residents, businesses and visitors. Now the Square is celebrating its first Christmas since its transformation, and it’s getting its very first Christmas tree.
Bring your friends, family and neighbours for two hours of live music, street food and festive cheer. Warm up with mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies, and pick up Christmas gifts from local makers at our pop-up craft market. There’s free face painting for children too.
What to expect
Enjoy an evening of festive entertainment for the whole family, including:
- Christmas tree lights switch-on at 6.00pm
- Carol singers bringing festive music to the Square
- A pop-up craft market featuring local makers and independent businesses
- Seasonal refreshments and street food, including mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies, available to buy from local vendors
- Free festive face painting for children
