As the Christmas market at George Square was moved to Glasgow Green last year due to renovation works, the festivities looked slightly different from what we were used to. This year, Winter Wonderland at Glasgow Green is staying, along with the Christmas market at St Enoch, but we will also see the return of festive events at George Square.
The exact dates of The Good Times Christmas Village at George Square
The Good Times Christmas Village is opening its gates on Thursday, November 19 at 12pm at the newly developed George Square. The market will stay open until December 31.
What to expect?
The Good Times Christmas Village is bringing 20 food traders, three festive bar, including heated seating, live music every day, celidhs on Thursdays and festive bingo sessions. Plus, little ones can enjoy a range of activities, such as face painting, balloon animal making workshops, spray tattoos and pine cone decorating.
ASN sessions will also be available on Sunday, to allow for some enjoyable quieter time.
The Good Times Christmas Village is also supporting a number of charities, selling live Christmas trees, as well as festive decorations, which will be delivered to your home without having to log it back yourself. And the best part – for every Christmas tree sold, there will be one tree planted.
Visitors will also be able to order hampers to be sent to anywhere in the UK fo their loved ones with goods from local businesses.
