It looks like we're not the only ones who had to make the devastating decision to cancel this weekend.

The winds are predicted to increase further this evening which meant today was our only safe window to pack down the site without endangering our team or members of the public.

Stay safe everyone!

A number of Christmas events this weekend have been cancelled as the North East is set to be battered by 65 to 70mph winds as more are likely to…

❤️ Support Our Local Traders Affected by Christmas Town Closure

🥺 We're devastated to close Christmas Town because of the impending weather conditions. This sudden change leaves our traders and local businesses with surplus stock intended for the weekend. Christmas Town is run by local non-profits, so this loss is something we, too, have to work through. But for now, please support those in the town who depend on this event.

Let's come together as a community to support these businesses by purchasing their goods. Your support will make a significant difference during this challenging time.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Bishop Auckland's Christmas Town will be closed this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday due to Storm Darragh and expected winds of 60mph+. Your safety is our top priority, and while this decision is devastating after a year of planning, it is the right one.

💫 Tonight's opening hours will continue as usual from 3-8pm, where you can enjoy the magic of Christmas Town, with Bandaoke starting from 7:30pm in the Giant Tipi Bar FOR FREE.

🎟️ Those who have tickets booked for the weekend have been contacted by email.

🌟 Meanwhile at Christmas Town… 🎄✨

There’s magic in the air, and it’s not just the snowflakes falling! ❄️ Our Christmas Town is the place where little faces light up with wonder – from the giggles at the carousel 🎠 to the excitement of meeting Santa in his cosy grotto 🎅. And let’s be honest, the adults? They’re lighting up just as much! 🌟

It’s incredible to see grown-ups rediscovering the joy of Christmas – spinning on the Ferris wheel 🎡, gliding (or wobbling) on the ice rink ⛸️, and singing along to the festive tunes at the bandstand 🎤. It's pure magic watching families come together, sharing laughter, memories, and festive cheer.

And let’s not forget the Giant Tipi 🔥 – a warm, welcoming retreat where everyone can sip mulled wine 🍷, share stories, and soak up the Christmas vibes.

🎄 Starting again today at 3 PM!
Whether you’re shopping at the markets 🛍️, joining in the merriment, or simply watching your little ones beam with excitement, Christmas Town has something for everyone.

And don't forget the Bandaoke starting at 7:30 in the Tipi!
