It’s not properly Winter until you’ve wandered around Liverpool Christmas Market

Well you’re in luck because St George’s Hall is hosting 3 events alongside the return of the brilliant Liverpool Christmas Market, outside on the plateau.

Here’s your run down on the festive fun coming to St George’s Hall this Winter……

3 – The Snow Ball

The Snow Ball will transform the Great Hall at St George’s for two, black-tie events.

Taking place on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th December 2017 from 7pm, The Snow Ball is set to be an evening of glitz and glamour as the Great Hall gets a snowy make-over to look its best for this black tie event. After a welcome glass of fizz, you can dance the night away to floor-fillers courtesy of the amazing Motown band, James Franklin & Soul Machine on Friday, and the crooning sounds of Frank Sinatra tribute act, Perfectly Frank on Saturday. Tickets are £25 and are available to buy here. Food will be available to purchase on the night. 

Liverpool Christmas Market

Liverpool Christmas Market is also returning to the plateau for the second year, running from 17th November to 22nd December 2017 so those eager beavers and last minute shoppers can pick up some festive trinkets and enjoy a mulled wine throughout the winter. The market will boast over 40 traditional festive style cabins dressed in garlands and lighting to create a warm festive atmosphere. On offer will be a range of hot and cold food and craft stalls.

Choose from bratwurst or gourmet burgers, as well as an array of Christmas delights including crepes and cupcakes for those with a sweet tooth. Handmade jewellery, festive decorations, slippers, scarves and edible gifts will also make perfect stocking fillers. New for this year, is a brand new Windmill Bar which will serve traditional beers, mulled wine and other festive drinks! .
