Youngsters will have the chance to create festive treats with the help of Mrs Claus as part of the Newcastle Christmas Village.
The festive event will see Old Eldon Square transformed with fairground rides, festive films, the Rocking Reindeer stage, and Santa’s Stories.
The Christmas Village is part of Newcastle’s Christmas 2025 – a collaboration between Newcastle City Council and Newcastle NE1 – which aims to put Newcastle on the festive map with a good-value, accessible event and a must-visit destination for visitors from near and far.
Newcastle Christmas Village runs from November 15 to Christmas Eve, giving families lots of opportunities to enjoy the attractions.
At Mrs Claus’ Bakery, children will have the chance to make and decorate gingerbread men and take pictures with Mother Christmas and the elves. Tickets cost £8 plus a booking fee for one child and one adult and can be booked at www.newcastlechristmasvillage.co.uk/mrsclausbakery
The family-friendly event – which is being delivered by Newcastle company EVNT Inspirations – is just one of the activities on offer at this year’s village. A Christmas tipi plays host to Santa Stories, while the Rocking Reindeer stage will feature a range of family-friendly shows.
Newcastle’s Christmas will officially be launched on Thursday November 6 with the annual Christmas lights switch on, and the Christmas markets will open on Saturday November 15 and run until Tuesday December 23. Newcastle Christmas Village and Moosenwirt – the pop-up Alpine bar at Grey Street – will also open on November 15 and run until New Year’s Day.
