FROM Santa’s grotto to festive stalls and live music, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this Christmas in Salisbury.

Salisbury City Council has now announced its Christmas events, starting off with Christmas Begins in the Market Place and Guildhall Square on November 21.

This free to enter event will feature live music, entertainment, festive stalls, and delicious food and drink, from 1pm to 8pm.

This will be followed by Christmas on the Square from November 21 to December 31, providing more than five weeks of pop-up festive fun. Children will be able to meet Santa in his grotto, while adults can relax in the bar with live music and entertainment on select days and explore a charming selection of retail huts – all on the Guildhall Square.

Santa will make himself a temporary resident of the city as he will be back in his grotto from November 21 to Christmas Eve, where families can capture the joy of Christmastime with a photo and feel the excitement as little ones awaits a special moment with Santa himself.
