The Lexicon is set to sparkle with festive cheer as it launches Festive Friday, a brand-new family-friendly event taking place on Friday, December 19,, from 4pm to 8pm.

Visitors can enjoy an array of free live entertainment throughout the evening, including performances from stilt-walking band, The Ten Foot Troubadours, uplifting harmonies from Vocalese Choir and mesmerising appearances from the Mirror Men.

Younger guests can also enjoy special character meet-and-greets. Meet Blizzard and Snowball the penguins and The Grinch, plus Percy Pig outside M&S and the Mario Brothers in and around High Score Arcade. Special guest Paddington Bear will be in Princess Square, with his appearances starting slightly earlier from 2pm.

Tom Henderson, centre director at The Lexicon, says: “Festive Friday is a brand-new addition to our Christmas calendar, designed to bring even more seasonal fun to The Lexicon.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to come together, enjoy brilliant entertainment and soak up the festive atmosphere. If the community loves it as much as we think they will, we’d be delighted to make it a regular Christmas highlight.”

In addition, The Lexicon Express—lit up with twinkling lights — is running daily for £1 per ride. You can also enjoy the free Christmas trail and the Snap, Tag and Share selfie gift competition for a chance to win gift cards. Plus, explore the Festive Market, which is full of festive food and unique gifts.
