Hi, I'm digital reporter, Amy Seddon, and welcome to another edition of Five Things
00:12
to Do Next Week across central Lancashire and the Fylde Coast.
00:17
First up, in Preston, head down to Preston Markets on Saturday, December 21st for the
00:23
chance to meet the iconic festive characters, the Grinch and Olaf, as well as the special
00:29
meet and greets, which are free by the way. Attendees can expect a traditional afternoon
00:33
of festivities and carol singing. You can of course also buy some festive food whilst
00:38
you avoid the Grinch's devious ploy. Olaf and the Grinch will be out between 11.30am
00:44
to 12.10pm, 12.45pm to 1.20pm, and 2pm to 2.40pm.
00:52
Nearby in South Ribble, Penrhythm Community Centre is holding a Christmas celebration
00:57
today, on Saturday, December 21st. This free event, hosted by New Beginning Christian Church,
01:04
is on between 5pm and 8pm, and is perfect for all the family. Attendees can expect to
01:10
hear traditional carols, watch a kids' nativity, listen to some gospel stories, take part in
01:15
kids' crafts, a photo booth, and enjoy food and hot chocolate.
01:22
The pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, is then on at the Trolley Theatre, with shows
01:27
from Tuesday to Saturday. Presented by K-DOS, this is a traditional pantomime for the whole
01:33
family, which tells the story of a poor family forced to sell their beloved pet cow for a
01:39
bag of beans, which brings some unexpected surprises. Unfortunately for those who have
01:44
not yet grabbed their tickets, all the shows have now sold out.
01:49
Over on the Fylde Coast, Blackpool Church is hosting an evening of traditional carol
01:54
singing, led by a live choir, on Saturday, December 21st. Doors open at 6.30pm, with
02:02
the free event starting at 7pm and finishing at 8pm. Audiences can also enjoy mulled wine
02:09
and mince pies around the Christmas tree before the service.
02:14
Christmas by Candlelight is also on at the Blackpool Winter Gardens on Sunday, December
02:18
22nd. Starting at 7.30pm in the Empress Ballroom, a spectacular West End cast and an incredible
02:26
live band perform your favourite Christmas hits as you've never heard them before. Tickets
02:32
are still available and start from £25.
02:36
So there are five top things to do next week, but whatever you're up to, have a good one!
