Brockholes Nature Reserve is once again holding a Winter Fayre.

The Lancashire Wildlife Trusts are hosting the event at their flagship nature reserve following a successful first year in 2023.

The fayre promises to be an evening of varied family entertainment and festive fun, taking place on Friday 13 December from 5pm to 8pm. The light switch on, done by Father Christmas himself, will start at 7pm.

Visitors can expect a festival atmosphere, traditional fairground games, live music and eco-friendly crafts and activities, suitable for all ages.

There will be hot and cold food and drinks stalls, the chance to meet Father Christmas, and gift shopping at the artisan markets.

Leah Ince, Conference and Wedding Sales Manager at Brockholes, said: “We’re really looking forward to hosting our second winter fayre at Brockholes.

“This is following on from the success of our first winter fayre last Christmas, which was really well attended with some great feedback. The fact that the fayre is taking place on our beautiful floating visitor village makes it even more magical.”
