Hungry Christmas shoppers can put their bags down and tuck into a Giant Yorkshire Pudding filled with a traditional Christmas dinner and lashings of gravy for £10 at Southport Market this Christmas.
The new speciality is available from Unit 6 inside the Market, formerly occupied by Cake Corner until it expanded into the bigger unit next door.
It is part of a range of festive events and activities inside the building, which has been transformed into a Christmas wonderland by Fantasy Weddings / Enhance Events.
There is a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and Santa’s throne, while there is a festive set of angel wings in the Extravaganza Events Space, which all make perfect backdrops for any photos.
Over the next few days, people can enjoy a series of free festive movies including: Nativity, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, Frozen, The Santa Claus, The Polar Express and more.
Santa & his elves will be in Southport Market 1pm this Saturday and Sunday (17th and 18th December) as well as Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week (21st-23rd December) thanks to G Models & Casting Agency.
You can post your letters to the North Pole in the magical postbox.
This Sunday will see the screening of the World Cup final between France and Argentina.
The jam-packed festive events calendar compliments what’s already on offer at Southport Market, which includes a host of delicious international foods, a feature bar and regular live music performances.
Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration & Skills, said:
“Even Santa himself knows Southport Market is the most festive, fun-filled place to be for all the family this December.
“We are ensuring everyone, young and old, is catered for this Christmas.”
