Festive season is officially here with the opening of the Winter Wonderland Christmas Market at St Enoch, but plenty more things are coming to the city this month! Frostfyr Festival is bringing affordable shows to the West End, as well as traditional Christmas market favourites.
Frostfyr Festival is kicking off on November 26 at 17 West Greenhill Place, Finnieston in Glasgow, and is running all the way until December 23. Guests can expect the usual Christmas market favourites like craft stalls, rides, a festive bar and Santa’s Grotto, on top of plenty of ticketed events, including Drag shows, stand-up comedy, burlesque, cabaret, West End-style shows and magic.
Mirage will be at the heart of Frostfyr Festival, hosting over 40 live shows. Programme highlights include Drag Queen Power Ballads, The Big Christmas Show from Edinburgh Fringe sell-out team Insane Magic, along with Susie McCabe & Friends.
What is more, little ones can look forward to a range of shows, including a K-pop Trio tribute show, Superhero Extravaganza, Ms R & Friends, Pop Princesses and a special Panto from Wicked Entertainment, with much more across the festival calendar.
And, of course, the Festival Bar is set for its own Christmassy programme, with karaoke, live musicians and quiz nights. Food vendors will include Pizza B Goode and The Crumbleologist, serving up plenty to tempt visitors between shows, shopping and festive activities.
How to get tickets
Tickets to the shows are available from the Frostfyr Festival website, with the organisers primising affordable pricing. For example, a ticket to go see Susie McCabe is £17.30, while a ticket to Meet Santa is £11.80 for a child and £5.50 for under 1s.
Caroline Robinson from Frostfyr Festival said: “Christmas should be a time to get together and make memories, but we know how quickly the cost of a family day out can add up. We’re putting affordability at the heart of Frostfyr, with a programme that gives families and friends plenty to look forward to.
“From Drag Queen Power Ballads and Susie McCabe & Friends to The Big Christmas Show and our K-pop Trio tribute, we’re bringing a fantastic mix of entertainment to our heated Spiegeltent. Add in visits with Santa, our Avalanche ride and music, karaoke, and quizzes in the Festival Bar, and there are plenty of reasons to come back throughout the season.
“We’re also delighted to welcome local makers and brilliant food vendors. You can pick up Christmas presents, enjoy something delicious and make an occasion of it with the people you love. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Finnieston.”
