Visit Wirral at Christmas

From rural winter walks to festive afternoon tea, and Christmas fayres to meeting Santa in a winter wonderland, visit Wirral for some extra sparkle.

Fly off to Never-neverland with Peter Pan in panto at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton, and finish the day exploring the street art trail, under the golden glow of the winter sunset. Get stuck in with some fun Christmas crafts too, such as wreath-making or enjoy Christmas afternoon tea in the idyllic Port Sunlight Village. Head off to buy Christmas gifts at wonderful independent shops in Oxton Village and while you’re there stop off at the Into the Wyld exhibition at Williamson Art Gallery. Uncover the legacy of the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and its unique connection to Wirral.

Other great independent shops can be found in Heswall, West Kirby and Brimstage Courtyard, and don’t miss The Santa Experience at nearby Church Farm.

All this is only a short ferry or train ride from Liverpool with its fantastic Liverpool One shopping area and exciting events across the city. Read on for some great ideas to add to your itinerary during your trip to Wirral this festive season.
