From magical Christmas shopping and time travelling to Christmas past, to festive crafting and a spectacular panto, here’s our selection of what to look out for this week.
1. Christmas shopping and magic memories at Cheshire Oaks
As the big day approaches it’s time to get those gifts if you haven’t already. Home to over 140 boutiques full of big name brands with up to 60% off RRP, you won’t struggle to find that perfect present. To add to the experience there’s a host of Christmas celebrations this festive season including the Alpine inspired winter village, warming winter food and drink, and The Big Wheel. Plus, this weekend there will be entertainment from a festive brass band, gospel choir, and Christmas choir.
2. Travel to Christmas past at Little Moreton Hall
Join the National Trust team this weekend at Little Moreton Hall, as they step back in to the past and celebrate traditions old and new. Staff and volunteers will be decorating different rooms of the hall to transport visitors to Christmas past, from Tudor to present day, all within a simple step. Visitors to the hall on weekends will not only be entertained by jovial jesters but will also be treated to the musical talents of either Merrie Noyse or Piva; groups of performers who bring the music of the past to life.
3. Get crafty this Christmas with the Silk Museum
Macclesfield’s Silk Museum continues its season of Handmade Holidays this week with an uplifting programme of music, making and giving ahead of Christmas. There’s a lot going on in the run up to the big day including children’s festive crafts, handbell ringers, Christmas carolling, and even jewellery making. These workshops are a wonderful, affordable way to get into the festive spirit.
4. Take a tour through Christmas in Chester
The Guild of Chester Tour Guides have a brand-new tour this festive season. The Christmas Tour gives guests the opportunity to explore Christmas through the ages. From the Roman Saturnalia festivities, through the Nordic myths and the nostalgic Victorian idyll, you’ll see how the customs, rituals and beliefs from many countries and religions all have contributed to the way we celebrate today.
5. Follow the Star of Wonder
Star of Wonder is a magical new show from Theatre Porto in Ellesmere Port, and the award-winning Teatro Pomodoro, an international theatre company made up of performers and creators from five different countries. This production is designed to be as welcoming and accessible as possible for all ages. It will be performed with minimal words and an electrifying blend of clowning, music, and physical comedy, using the experience of a diverse cast of international and learning-disabled performers, who have delighted audiences with magical memories globally across Europe, Asia, and North America. It’s a must-see this Christmas!

Actually, you can https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/the-crucible/ more info about this play. It might be interesting for everyone who loves to be familiar with the plays before you visit theater. emmaparkers I only choose comfortable foreign travel because sitting on an airplane for a few hours can be difficult. I was able to book flights to America as a result. You may get tickets at a wonderful price, read more and visit site https://businessclassconsolidator.com/ and unwind throughout the flight!
