A brand new winter festival is bringing an affordable Christmas celebration to Glasgow’s Finnieston.
Frostfyr combines live shows with traditional Christmas attractions, offering affordable events for all the family, opportunities for children to meet Santa, rides and a marketplace showcasing local craft vendors.
Its heated Spiegeltent, Mirage, will host more than 40 ticketed events from 26th November until 23rd December, including Drag Queen Power Ballads, The Big Christmas Show and Susie McCabe & Friends, alongside children’s shows, Santa visits, festive rides, local craft stalls, street food and a Festival Bar.
Families can also look forward to a range of shows for children of all ages, including a KPOP Trio tribute show, Superhero Extravaganza, Ms R & Friends, Pop Princesses and a special Panto from Wicked Entertainment, with much more across the festival calendar.
The seated Festival Bar will have its own programme of entertainment, including karaoke, live musicians and quiz nights. Whether visitors fancy taking the microphone, putting their knowledge to the test or catching up with friends over a drink, the bar will provide a place to settle in and enjoy the celebrations.
For younger visitors, dedicated meet Santa events will bring an extra helping of Christmas excitement, while the Avalanche & Tea Cups rides will add to the festival atmosphere.
Shoppers can browse local craft stalls to stock up on Christmas presents, discovering gifts from independent makers and supporting local businesses along the way. Food will also be a major part of the experience, with vendors including Pizza B Goode and The Crumbleologist serving up plenty to tempt visitors between shows, shopping and festive activities.
Caroline Robinson from Frostfyr Festival, said: “Christmas should be a time to get together and make memories, but we know how quickly the cost of a family day out can add up. We’re putting affordability at the heart of Frostfyr, with a programme that gives families and friends plenty to look forward to.
“From Drag Queen Power Ballads and Susie McCabe & Friends to The Big Christmas Show and our KPOP Trio tribute, we’re bringing a fantastic mix of entertainment to our heated Spiegeltent. Add in visits with Santa, our Avalanche ride and music, karaoke, and quizzes in the Festival Bar, and there are plenty of reasons to come back throughout the season.
“We’re also delighted to welcome local makers and brilliant food vendors. You can pick up Christmas presents, enjoy something delicious and make an occasion of it with the people you love. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Finnieston.”
