Winter Welcome
Saturday 29th November 2025 12:00pm - 8:00pm
Locations: Eddington Square,Turing Locke
The laughter, the togetherness, the festive spirit – it’s time for Eddington’s Winter Welcome! Join friends, neighbours and the wider community for this outdoor event and celebrate the start of the winter season.
From a sprinkle of seasonal activities – like curling, board games on the bus, and the Present Made Snowconut Shy – to shared photo moments and lively community entertainment, there are plenty of ways to come together and enjoy the festivities. The children’s funfair also returns this year, guaranteed to bring smiles to younger visitors once again.
The Knights Park Festive Market at Turing Locke and Hyatt Centric Hotel (12pm-4pm) will be brimming with 20+ stalls offering unique crafts and thoughtful gifts, and Douce will be taking their makers and vintage flea market to the rooftop (12pm-5pm). R3FORM will also be getting involved with their open studio day offering taster classes at £1 (10:30am-4:30pm).
The community will be out in force, providing a medley of entertainment throughout the event. Expect everything from samba bands to swing dancing, LED light performers to brass ensembles – and possibly a festive character or two.
It wouldn’t be an Eddington pop-up event without a tempting selection of warming winter food and drink. Thanks to foodPark, you can choose from locally sourced American-style burgers from Steak & Honour, fluffy Bao buns from Guerrilla Kitchen, hearty Yorkshire pudding wraps from Wrapunzel, and irresistible desserts from Churros Bar. Grab a seat on the iconic double-decker bus bar, where a variety of drinks await to warm your cockles – from mulled wine and cider to indulgent boozy hot chocolate.
Let’s make memories together at Eddington’s Winter Welcome!
Entry to the event is free, but we ask you to please register in advance so we can ensure the best experience for everyone.
