Christmas events to spread festive cheer across Causeway Coast and Glens

Christmas celebrations on the streets of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough.

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is excited to bring a fantastic array of Christmas cheer to a town near you, commencing this November.

 

Festivities will kick off in Ballymoney on Thursday 21st November, followed closely by Limavady on Saturday 23rd November. Thursday 28th November will see the seasonal fun arrive in Ballycastle, with Friday 29th November bringing the Christmas merriment to Coleraine.



To help mark the beginning of Christmas celebrations across the Borough, and despite a very busy schedule, Santa will find time to visit the four main towns of Ballymoney, Limavady, Ballycastle and Coleraine.

To ensure everyone is in the Christmas spirit, this year’s programme of festivities is set to have something for all the family, including Christmas Cavalcades, the Christmas lights switch-on, walkabout characters and of course seasonal music and Santa’s grotto.

 

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Councillor Ciarán McQuillan said:


“Council is delighted to officially bring Christmas to the Borough this November with our free events for all the family.



“Our towns and villages always make a real effort to give both residents and visitors to the Borough a warm festive welcome and this along with our Christmas events means that our high streets remain a real draw for Christmas shoppers.

 

“I’d encourage you to support our local town centres and businesses this November and December.”

In addition to these four main events, there will also be festive community events taking place throughout November and December in many towns and villages, supported by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. More information on these will be released very soon via Council’s events social media channels. 

 

Children with additional needs can enjoy a pre-booked ‘Quiet Time’ in the four towns. To book your quiet time visit, please email:
