This is the ONLY official event by Kirklees Council for Huddersfield's Christmas festivities, please be aware there are scam events online.

Taking place in key locations in Huddersfield, the town centre will be filled with
🎵 Local musicians
🦌 Live reindeer
🎨 Seasonally themed workshops and walkabout acts
🛍️ Christmas markets with gifts, food and drinks.
& Much more across the day!

All activities will be free, including live music stages, Santa’s Grotto, photo booths, snowboarding, and reindeer rodeo.
Taking place between 11am - 4pm on Saturday 30 November events and activities will be across the town centre. The Christmas Market featuring around 40 stalls of the best local artisan makers, as well as festive food and refreshments, takes place in the newly finished event space in St Peter's Garden. A live music stage will add to the atmosphere with choirs and bands from across the district.
The Piazza will play host to creative workshops thanks to the Creative Piazza. Create a winter worlds crown with MakerWorld, make a winter gift with Collaborarti (11-2pm), print paper lanterns and screen print stickers or t-shirts with West Yorkshire Print Workshop (1-2:30pm) or simply bring along a jumper and make it festive with Thread Republic. Outside entertainment includes walkabout characters and storytelling every half hour. Workshops will finish with a Community Winter Parade (3:30pm) led by a Jabberwocky and snow fairies, prior to a final musical performance by Rhythm Sticks (4pm). You will also be able to meet the big man himself, at Santa's Grotto!
Back by popular demand, a giant snow globe will sit on New Street as well as real-life reindeer, who will be taking a break from their Christmas deliveries to visit Huddersfield. All to a backdrop of Hepworth Brass Band, who will be filling the street with sounds of a traditional Yorkshire Christmas (12pm and 1:30pm).
Market Place will also feature a snowboarding simulator and mechanical rodeo reindeer - free for all to get up and have a go!
A range of funny festive walkabouts will be hitting the streets of Huddersfield for this year’s Christmas celebrations there will be Elves, Frozen characters, Christmas Disco Ball Heads, Gingerbread Men, Gonks, and the Kitsch Christmas duo throughout the day from 12pm. Will you spot them all!?
