This year’s festival will once again transform the Cathedral with a stunning display of A Victorian Christmas Village, Cecil Frances Alexander Christmas sitting room, Sunday School Display, Choir Boys & Girls Tree, Mothers’ Union ‘anytime time is teatime’, Christmas trees, handcrafted dioramas, many innovative tree like displays, created by local charities, schools, community groups and businesses — a true celebration of the city’s creativity.
The St Columb's Cathedral Christmas Festival is now open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm (with the exception of a 11.15am opening on Tuesdays)
