The 'At No.25 Christmas Installation' will also return to Queens Gardens. The Narnia-themed winter wonderland will feature a living snow globe and a mystical Snow Queen with music, lights, and snow.

The Christmas parade will start on Bridge Street, at the back of Warrington market, with Katumba drummers leading the way down Rylands Street to the Town Hall, where everyone will assemble on the front lawn for the projection switch-on, including Father Christmas, his elves, and the Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Steve Wright.

Children can participate in free workshops at New Art Spaces to create Christmas crafts for the town centre parade at 5pm on Saturday. Father Christmas will also be in town with his sleigh, and street entertainers, including Santa's elves and the Grinch.

Radio Warrington will be broadcasting live Christmas music throughout the day, leading up to the parade at 5pm. The Christmas weekend party kicks off on Saturday, November 25, from 10am to 9pm and on Saturday, November 26, from 11am to 9pm. A full timetable of events can be found below.
