On Sunday 3rd December 2023, we will be joining with The Parkhouse Centre to come together and enjoy a day of festivities to support our local community. This year we are changing things a bit by adding workshops and tours at The Castle for you to enjoy and live music in Café Limelight. 

The Castle Heritage Centre A choice of Workshops and Heritage Tours in The Blanchminster Room and Live Music in The Willoughby Gallery. Café Limelight will be serving a selection of festive treats, food and drink during the day. Find out more in the section below.

The Parkhouse Centre Over 50 artisan stalls based inside and outside The Parkhouse Centre. Using the whole space, you will find The Ivor Potter Hall, Room 2/3 and the Foyers will be the hub of festive offers for you to browse and get some wonderful gifts. Magic Shows will be on twice, once at 11:30am and at 3pm. Santa’s Grotto will be at 12:30pm until 2:30pm, with a last entry to the room at 1:45pm. Claire’s Face Painting and Christmas Decoration Crafting will be available all day. The Outside Inn will be on hand to make sure that you are fed and watered, with a large selection of food and drinks. 

Entry to The Castle and The Parkhouse and the entertainment is all free, thanks to the support of Bude-Stratton Town Council. Workshops may incur a cost, which is disclosed in the links. We look forward to having you with us, come along and join in the fun!
