Christmas has officially arrived. Liverpool ONE has exciting plans for the festive season, including new children’s rides, as well the seasonal favourites like Bar Hutte and the neon Christmas tree.
When do the Liverpool ONE Christmas 2024 festivities begin?
November 8 is the big day at Liverpool ONE lighting up their giant neon Christmas tree, while Bar Hutte will open on November 9 with karaoke alpine huts, festive drinks and a dog grotto.
What is happening at Liverpool ONE this festive season?
Visitors can expect a giant bauble, children’s rides, ice sculptures, and a weekend of “snow” this season, as well as the return of Bar Hutte. New for this year is the children’s rides, as well as the carousel on Chavasse Park and an authentic German grill offering visitors a host of traditional Christmas flavours.
One of Liverpool’s favourite competitions is also returning for 2024, giving away £4,000 worth of prizes from Liverpool ONE brands between December 1 and 12. What is more, a golden ticket competition will offer one lucky winner a £500 gift card.
Thursdays leading up to Christmas starting from November 21 are the most special, as ice sculptures, flash mobs, karaoke singalongs, silent discos, choirs and carol singers will be cheering visitors up.
Plus, the Liverpool sign got a huge festive makeover, ” inspired by the links to the city’s maritime history”. Located on Thomas Steers Way, the iconic sign received a makeover by local creative designer Candy Sinclair-Ford.
Candy Sinclair-Ford commented on her work: “I’m absolutely delighted that my artwork has been chosen to decorate the Liverpool sign for the festive season. I work as a graphic designer but I’ve never done anything on this scale before. I really hope that anyone who sees the artwork will be given a magical feeling of festive joy. My aim is to put a smile on people’s faces and spread some Christmas cheer!”
Donna Howitt, Place Strategy Director at Liverpool ONE, said: “Nowhere does Christmas quite like Liverpool! As a city, we love Christmas shopping, so it’s only right that Liverpool ONE provides the best atmosphere for visitors to soak up some festive ambiance while buying those special gifts for their loved ones.”
