Tips & Advice

Arrive early for the Christmas Fair weekends (December 13-15 and December 20-22) to explore the widest selection of local crafts and products before they sell out.
Check the specific schedule for the 'Emanuel' performance and the Christmas concert in advance, as these unique events are highlights and may have limited capacity or specific viewing areas.
Consider visiting on a weekday evening to enjoy the ice rink with fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed skating experience.
Bundle up in layers, especially for evening events and ice skating, as temperatures can be chilly. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring both event locations.
Take advantage of the on-site catering stalls to sample local festive foods and warm drinks while enjoying the holiday atmosphere.
