Christmas cheer arrives at St Stephen’s on Thursday 20th November, as the centre unveils its new Christmas lights and kicks off the season in style with a free community concert filled with festive favourites.
Back for its third year, the festive concert – hosted in partnership with Tribfest outside Tesco Extra- will transform the centre into a hub of seasonal joy, featuring feel-good performances from Collingwood Primary School and the All For One Choir.
The concert will run from 5pm until 8pm, culminating in a lively performance from a soul, funk and Motown band – the perfect finale to a night of festive music and community celebration.
Adding to the festivities, St Stephen’s will welcome back its much-loved Christmas Market, opening on Thursday 20th November and running until Friday 2nd January, with a selection of stalls serving up festive favourites including German sausages, waffles, hot chocolate and mulled wine.
Jim Harris, centre manager at St Stephen’s, said: “The countdown to Christmas is officially on, and we can’t wait to see the centre lit up and buzzing with festive fun once again.
“We’ve planned a brilliant evening of live performances lined up to get everyone into the Christmas spirit – from talented local choirs to a feel-good Motown finale. It’s always such a special night that brings the community together.
“With the wider city’s Christmas lights switch-on taking place just next door, it’s the perfect opportunity to make an evening of it. Pop into St Stephen’s to enjoy the music, grab a bite to eat or catch a film after the celebrations – there’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy.”
And the festive cheer doesn’t stop there. Doreen’s, a local group supporting people across Hull with essential items and community projects, will be at the centre on Saturday 6th December offering a Christmas gift-wrapping service that lets visitors get their presents wrapped while supporting a fantastic local cause.
