This 12-day extravaganza promises to be a highlight of the festive season, offering something for everyone.

The Christmas market is a must-visit, with over 30 independent stalls showcasing handmade gifts, crafts, and festive treats. It's a fantastic opportunity to support local artisans and find unique presents for your loved ones.

Foodies will be delighted by the food village, serving up winter warmers like bratwurst, hot chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and mulled wine. With global cuisine and baked goods also on offer, there's plenty to tantalise your taste buds.

One of the standout features of this year's fest is the dazzling light tunnel, perfect for capturing festive selfies, alongside an enchanting display of illuminated Christmas trees lining the castle's exterior.

For the young and young at heart, the traditional funfair offers rides and excitement, while the entertainment lounge promises a variety of performances. Enjoy acts like retro singer Miss Holiday Swing, live band Arry and the Hatstands, a Robbie Williams tribute, and even drag bingo with Sophia Stardust.

Children can meet Santa in his grotto, encounter characters like The Grinch and Anna and Elsa, and participate in activities such as writing letters to the North Pole.
