From Thursday November 20, Oxford Street, Princess Way and Portland Street will be transformed into a Victorian‑style market for four days, with around 50 artisan stalls, costumed traders, street food and live entertainment.
The Victorian Christmas Fayre is a new addition to Swansea’s festive calendar, designed to bring the sights, sounds and tastes of a traditional Christmas to the city centre.
On Friday November 21, Waterfront Winterland opens at Museum Park, offering ice skating, rides and festive food.
The celebrations culminate on Sunday November 23, when the Christmas Parade takes to the streets with floats, bands, choirs and light‑up characters. Santa will switch on the city’s Christmas lights at the end of the procession, following a fireworks display at the Guildhall to mark the start of the parade.
Cllr David Hopkins, Swansea Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Delivery, said:
“Swansea city centre will be the place to be this Christmas, with more festive fun than ever before. We’re proud to bring back much‑loved favourites, alongside exciting additions such as the Victorian Christmas Fayre and several other new events for 2025.”
