Britain's What's On Event Guide
Brighton Marina announces festive programme of events
Brighton Marina is set to be the ultimate destination for family fun this festive season, offering a range of family-friendly activities including a Christmas Grotto at Brighton RNLI, an enchanting Christmas lights trail at ArtPod, plus crafting workshops at Pretty Neat Gallery and more.
Families are invited to meet Mr. Claus himself at Brighton Marina this Christmas, as he visits the Brighton Lifeboat Station. Open on Sunday 7th December between 10am-5pm, adults and children on the ‘nice’ list can meet Santa and receive an age-appropriate gift. Tickets are priced from £10 each and can be purchased here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brighton-rnli-santas-grotto. All adults accompanying a paid child enter for free*.
Guests who visit Artpod on 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st December, will be invited to step into a world of festive wonder with The Christmas Stars, an enchanting indoor illuminated trail leading to Santa’s grotto.
Attendees will walk through The Cloud Alley which will feature twinkling lights and swirling colours similar to the Northern Lights, before arriving at The Christmas Stars Constellation, where little ones will be able to decorate the constellation’s shining stars with handmade embellishments. Guests will also be invited to take on a fun family challenge to knock down hiding Elf on the Shelf mischief-makers before meeting Santa himself in his cosy grotto and receiving an age- appropriate gift. Tickets are priced at £9.50 for children and £7 for adults.
What’s more, Pretty Neat Gallery will be hosting a selection of festive-themed crafting workshops until 17th December, including wreath making, Christmas centrepiece crafting, and embroidery**. To book and for more information, please visit prettyneatgallery.com/classes/.
