Redcar Lights Switch on and Illumination Parade – 24th November

The magical season of Christmas kicks off in spectacular style in Redcar Town Centre and we hope you will join us in what will be an evening of stunning visual displays, performance, music, lights and all-around joy! Inspired by the theme of panto!

Following on from last year’s Illumination Parade, we’re bring a creative spectacle to the town of Redcar with representatives from schools and community groups throughout the borough. Over 200 participants will throng the streets with artwork created with professional artists, including lanterns, costumes and exciting visual spectacles that will light up the route from the Civic Centre to Redcar Town. The parade will also be decked with professional performers, with the sights, sounds and smells of everything festive whilst being entertained by outstanding musical artists.

The Illumination Parade will begin at 4:15pm from the Civic Centre, so wrap up warm and follow the crowds on a party! And if that wasn’t enough, the stage will be full of entertainment and performance where the big button will be pressed by the Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland.

Saltburn Ice Trail – 7th December

A frosty winter adventure is coming to Saltburn…

After last year’s Ice Trail, renowned ice sculptors Sand in Your Eye will return, to place nine amazing ice sculptures across Saltburn, creating a wonderful one-day trail for families to explore.

Each sculpture will reveal a secret that you’ll need to find to complete the trail competition. The trail will feature a live ice carve, and a workshop with its very own ice post box, where the elves will help you write and post your letters to Santa. Alongside this wonderfully wintery trail, we’ll be joined by street entertainment, live performances, music and a host of Christmas stalls for those last-minute Christmas gifts!
