On Friday 29th November, Bargate Green Car Park will be transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring attractions for the whole family to enjoy.
The highlight will be an ice-skating experience with a synthetic ice rink – new for 2024 -alongside several traditional fairground rides, framed by the newly illuminated Christmas lights introduced in 2023.
The ice rink will be open for skating throughout the weekend, with its official launch on Friday 29th November to kick off the Boston Christmas Festival of 2024 running through to 6pm on Sunday 1st December 2024.
The Christmas Festival again will bring Traditional Christmas market food and drinks, including mulled wine and Bratwurst sausages, as well as the traditional hog roast, cakes and pastries, and many other items.
The Market will also feature a “fabulous selection” of stalls selling Christmas gingerbread, handmade wooden items, jewellery and Christmas ornaments and decorations, as well as pet items from The Little Blue Pupcakery.
Meanwhile, a number of community acts, local bands, talent shows, and much more will bring the entertainment for the 3-day festival.
Councillor Dale Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Town Centre inc events, who helped bring the market idea to life, said: “So many people we have talked to have expressed their support from the return of Boston Christmas in 2023.
“So for 2024 we needed to come back with something different and what better than an ice skating experience! Bringing 3-days of entertainment to our residents and visitors to start the festivities off for 2024 is a priority for us.”
