MyMarlow is really excited to announce a NEW Christmas event for Marlow, brought to us by the same team as Pub in the Park, so expect something BIG and SPECIAL!!
From 9-21 December Higginson Park in Marlow will be transformed into a yuletide festival that will light up the night sky. Here’s what you need to know about Christmas in the Park, including how to get tickets – it sounds amazing:
An illuminating light trail featuring festive-themed installations will be the centrepiece of the event, featuring light tunnels, photo opportunities to capture memories and interactive surprises.
Visitors will enter via the Mistletoe Market – a Christmas Market – brimming with Chalets filled with hand-crafted and unique Christmas gifts, tipples and treats from hot toddies and roasted chestnuts to cheese boards and marshmallow-topped hot chocolate. Amongst these delicious treats, will be a special offering from local legend Tom Kerridge.
Mid-way through the trail, visitors will encounter the Winter Village, where the sounds of choirs and musicians performing live carols and classic Christmas songs will fill the air. Here you’ll find firepits, pop-up bars and festive food from a hand-picked selection of gourmet street food trucks. And for the young, and young at heart, there will be a mini fairground.
As visitors journey through the woods, they can visit the Elves Workshop, where children can help the jolly band of elves from the National Elf Service with their preparations for the big day.
