ADVENT AT WAINSGATE

Event added by Wainsgate Dances

🎄 ADVENT AT WAINSGATE! 🎄

Advent at Wainsgate has become a much-loved tradition, eagerly anticipated each year, and this year promises to be a cracker! Two days of wonderful things happening and a truly buzzing festive atmosphere throughout the building.

The whole place will be decked out in lights and foliage, and our magical Santa’s Grotto (the real one, obvs) will be cosy, sparkling and stuffed full of presents.

Our resident chef, Ben Fogarty, will be cooking up mouth-watering savoury treats to keep everyone warm and well-fed, while our army of excellent cake bakers will be making sure every sweet tooth is catered for.

There'll be all the usual hot and cold drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, plus a few festive extras including Baileys coffee, hot chocolate and mulled wine.

Our ever-popular wreath-making workshops sell out quickly, so book early!

The chapel will be filled with Christmas trees decorated by local businesses, and there'll be a raffle with a stellar selection of prizes.

All of this is happening across BOTH days! And here's what else is in store:

🎁 SATURDAY

A fantastic selection of stalls from local artisans and makers. The perfect place to pick up some lovely gifts for friends and family (and a few treats for yourself).

✨ SUNDAY

🧝 The Elf Academy** is back! Two hugely popular workshops for younger visitors. Make your own Christmas decorations, cards and wrapping paper, or create angel wings and fabulous fancy-dress outfits — which you might want to wear to the Family Disco with DJ Jingle Bells afterwards!

🎺 The excellent Hebden Bridge Junior Band will be playing Christmas tunes, and the wonderful Old Town School Choir will be singing their own brilliant versions of Christmas carols.

🍷 Join the lovely Lily Beasley for a wine-tasting workshop, learn a little more about wine and perhaps discover your Christmas tipple.

🍸 And to round off the weekend, there'll be Christmas cocktails with Tala, while DJ Yadava spins the tunes from the pulpit!

It's going to be a glorious, bustling, festive couple of days up at Wainsgate. Come and join us!
