Salisbury to become the City of Stars for Christmas

The plans for Christmas in Salisbury this year have been announced, and the city will be transformed into the 'City of Stars'.

There will be Art Installations, festive markets, Santa's Grotto, and they are even guaranteeing snowfall!

The festive season officially kicks off with Christmas Begins on 17th November in Market Place, organised by Salisbury City Council.

Experience an Artisan Market with an array of Christmas gifts, fair rides, food and drink vendors, and other exciting entertainment for the whole family.

There will be pop-up festive markets on the Market Place on four Sunday's in the run up to Christmas. They take place on Sunday 26th November, and the 3rd, 10th and 17th of December. There will be a range of unique gifts, artisan goods, and festive decor from a wide array of traders.

Back once again this year is Frost, run once again by the nationally acclaimed Immersive Group alongside food vendors offering the new customary festive fare.

Santa Claus himself will be making a special appearance in Salisbury. Explore Santa's magical wonderland in the Maltings Green Space. This enchanting family experience includes family photos, a North Pole Postcard experience, a festive story, a selfie with Santa, and a wrapped gift for every child.

Salisbury's medieval streets will be adorned with ‘stellar’ installations, inviting visitors to embark on a captivating journey of sculpture and light. Pick up a map from the Tourist Information Centre or download one online to explore these beautiful installations.

The accessible trail is suitable for all ages, with plenty of opportunities for interactive experiences. Families can also enjoy the "Twelve Elves of Christmas" cheeky elf trail, throughout the city’s business windows, with proceeds benefiting the Stars Appeal.

Whatever the weather, it’s going to be a white Christmastime in Salisbury, thanks to Salisbury BID's popular snow machine pop-up. The city streets will be animated with snowfall throughout the festive season. Stay updated on the snowfall schedule through Experience Salisbury.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars and head into town on Christmas Eve for a community carol sing-a-long around the Market Place Christmas Tree with the Salvation Army band!”
