Dickensian Festival
Ulverston’s Dickensian Christmas Festival is one of the most popular Christmas festivals in the country. It attracts thousands of people, but it’s not too packed for visitors and local people to wander around and have a fabulous time and savour the wonderful atmosphere of a traditional market town in the Dickensian era.
As well as Ulverston’s fantastic specialist shops, pubs and cafes, cobbled streets and great atmosphere, there is a huge variety of free entertainment, free events for children, costume competitions, balloon modelling, music, dancing, and it’s all FREE!
There is also a fabulous Christmas market, with lots of unusual gifts and festive food. Plenty of opportunity for Christmas Shopping, plus lots of places for food and drink and a sit down. Why not come in costume and enter into the spirit of the event, and take part in our period dress competition and the grand parades around the town on both days?
The calendar features community events in Ulverston and South Cumbria. Check the location details of each event, as you may need a car or other form of transport in order to get there.
