The first Christmas fairs and markets start this weekend! Read our handy guide to what's on where here.

Kicking off the festive season is the Christmas Craft Fair at East Riding Leisure Haltemprice tomorrow 15th November and its also the Bridlington Christmas Food Festival all weekend. With lots more to follow as the month goes on!

I love a Christmas Fair. They are a great source of unique Christmas gifts and often have extra free entertainment so make a low cost family day out (depending on what you buy!)

At Hull City Hall tonight for some comedy! The venue looked stunning, outside and in.

It’s Hull Comedy Festival at the moment and we always try to get a child free night out to watch something in the city 😊

This years festive family show at East Riding Theatre in Beverley is The Snow Queen.

I popped in this week to find out more about it. The show runs from 4th to 27th December and is suitable for all ages. The cafe area at the theatre is already decorated with snowflakes and feels very festive! We've always liked popping in to the cafe if we're passing, its very child friendly and good value for money. I did try their Christmas bakes, the biscof rocky road got my vote!
We're going along to review the show so look out for our thoughts.

Starting on 18th November they are also doing a free Snow Queen Trail around Beverley which looks fun for little ones too.

The Hedon Rangers under 15s football team had a fab time at Hull Adventure Centre!

My nephew plays for the team and they headed out for a fun morning of team bonding yesterday. He absolutely loved it.

He thought the track was much better than indoor ones he’s been to before. The set up was quick and straightforward with all the kit ready. There were plenty of Marshall’s on hand too which was reassuring and he loved being able to watch the race back on video from helmet cameras.
It’s a great idea for a team day out, especially if you’re looking for team Christmas party events.

The karting track has a high ropes course above it which we tried out in the Summer. Families can book both karting and high ropes all year round, both are for age 8+.
The centre is really easy to get to, located just behind the Hull KR ground in East Hull.

This years pantomime at Bridlington Spa is Dick Whittington!
Runs from Friday 12th December 2025 to Sunday 4th January 2026.

Hull’s very own Tommy Coyle is swapping his boxing gloves for a villain’s cloak as he plays the role of King Rat.
Tickets are on sale now. Find full details on Mumbler here - https://hullandeastriding.mumbler.co.uk/bridlington-spa-pantomime/

It's always a funny, relaxed 'proper' panto at the Spa. In past years we've been to see the panto and combined it with a Winter walk on the beach, or with a visit to the Winter Woodland at Sewerby. Love a visit to Bridlington, whatever the season.

I am delighted to see this is back!! One of my favourite Christmas events for little ones, She Productions have a brand new show 'The Fairy Who Fell Off The Christmas Tree'.

It's touring around East Riding Libraries from 1st December, with a stop off at Humber Street on Fruit Market Hull on 23rd December. Aimed at ages 4+ but every performance is relaxed. It's a bargain at just £4 per ticket too!

There is always a good moral to the story. With a set made entirely from recycled materials, this all-singing, all-dancing Christmas musical is a joyful reminder that the most priceless gift is simply being present.
