Newport and Carisbrooke Community Council (NCCC) are delighted to announce the return of the extremely popular ‘Day of Christmas’ this year taking place in Newport on Saturday 19th November.

This year, the event organised by NCCC alongside Market Days CIC and SKATES promises to be even bigger than last year, which was one of the busiest days in Newport’s history.

The Quay will host an ice rink as well as inflatable assault course and snow globe (weather permitting), a circus workshop and food stalls.

A bustling Christmas market will bring festive sights and smells to St Thomas’s Square once again this year.

There will be an opportunity to join Heritage Service Manager, Richard Smout, on a short walk to learn secrets about the history of Newport.

Characters including the Grinch, will be walking around throughout the day and local school and community choirs will be performing.

A large stage will be in St James’s Square providing a variety of entertainment throughout the day until 5.45pm when a magical circus-themed show ‘The Greatest Snowman’ will switch on the town’s Christmas lights!

Due to their huge popularity, booking systems will be in place for the ice rink, SKATES roller-skating sessions and history tours and these will open shortly.

Further details will be released soon whilst the list of activities grows, but for now, NCCC invite you to save the date!
