Liverpool City Halls unveil their most magical Christmas programme yet

Liverpool’s most historic venues are getting ready to sparkle this December with a packed programme of festive events at Liverpool Town Hall, St George’s Hall and Croxteth Hall.

From Santa story time and lantern-lit carols to silent discos and even a Christmas grotto for dogs, the city’s landmark halls are pulling out all the stops to make this Christmas one to remember.

At Liverpool Town Hall, little ones can settle in for Story Time with Santa, where Father Christmas and Buddy the Elf will be sharing festive tales and songs in the stunning surroundings of the historic building. Sensory-friendly sessions will also be available, with dates running from Saturday 6 to Wednesday 24 December.

The Town Hall will also host two magical candlelight concerts in November and December, offering a chance to enjoy seasonal music in an elegant heritage setting.

St George’s Hall will once again be at the heart of the city’s celebrations. On Sunday 7 December, its famous Great Hall will be filled with over 80 independent traders and makers for the Christmas market, open from 10am to 4.30pm.

Carols by Lantern Light returns after last year’s sell-out success, taking place on Wednesday 3 and Wednesday 10 December with performances from Professor Ian Tracey, soloist Danielle Thomas and a classical choir.

For something a little different, Silent Night: A Silent Disco Wonderland is back on Saturday 6 December for over-18s only, with three music channels, festive visuals and a huge party atmosphere. Families can get involved earlier in the day with Disco Kids: The Ultimate Family Disco – a high-energy silent disco designed especially for children and their grown-ups.

Over at Croxteth Hall, dogs can join the festive fun at Santa Paws, a special grotto where four-legged friends can meet Santa, grab a treat and a gift, and pose for the ultimate Christmas photo. Santa Paws runs on selected dates from Saturday 13 to Sunday 21 December.

The Christmas programme at Liverpool City Halls is part of the wider festive offer across the city, including the return of Liverpool’s Christmas Markets outside St George’s Hall from Friday 15 November to Tuesday 24 December.
