A weekend of festive themed activities and family-friendly crafts, live music and delicious food and drinks to enjoy from our café.

It looks like Father Christmas will be making a special visit too – we’re so excited!! Look out for more details and times coming soon.

This year’s Frost Fest will include family-friendly crafts for children, live music with Major Cough Cough’s Thunderbox on Saturday morning, Julie Wilmore and William Blythe on Saturday afternoon, and Axum Folk Ensemble on Sunday afternoon. See separate listing for more info about the musicians: FROST FEST LIVE ACOUSTIC MUSIC – The Land of Oak & Iron (landofoakandiron.org.uk).

And of course, not forgetting the fabulous return of our Mischievous Elf Trail – what are they getting up to this year? Our resident Derwent Threads Sewing Group have been busy making little outfits for all the elves!

On Saturday evening we also have a great event just for the grown-ups to enjoy – our Festive Wine Tasting, Cheese & Charcuterie evening, with the Newcastle Wine School. Find out more and book a space here.

Pop the dates in your diary and look out for updates! We hope to see you here – a great way to get into the festive spirit in the run up to Christmas 2023!
