Festive Helter Skelter

Kids will love this! This festive fun Helter Skelter is lit up in gorgeous Christmas lights with Christmas songs playing, creating the perfect soundtrack for kids to have fun and burn off some energy while you stand by and sip a mulled wine and grab a bite to eat (the food and drink hut is right beside it). This will be there every day until December 24 and is located outside Barclays Bank in St George's Street. Find out more about the Helter Skelter and the Christmas Market HERE
