Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival

10/08/2025

With this gorgeous weather we’re having today I’m sure no-one is thinking about Christmas - apart from the Lymm Dickensian committee that is! 🤣🤣

We’re already planning and looking forward to the event on Saturday 13th December and would love to hear from any children’s entertainers, such as jugglers, stilt-walkers etc. to join in the fun, take part in the parade and provide some entertainment in the village during the day.

Please can you send us a message if you’re interested or know of anyone who may be.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you to everyone who came to our Dickensian debrief last week, it was so lovely to see you and great to get your feedback!
We love putting on this event and showcasing our gorgeous village, it really is such an amazing event to be involved in 😀

The big thing that came out in the debrief was that we need more volunteers to help run this (and all of the other events in the village) safely. The reality is that without volunteers these events simply cannot take place.

Anyone who can give time to help us organising, maybe coming down to help set up the village on the day, or simply marshalling the parade to ensure everyone's safety, please do get in touch! We'd love to hear from you.

If you are unable to help with Dickensian Day, but would like to volunteer for the other Lymm events (Lymm May Queen, Lymm Historic Transport Day, Lymm Festival,The Duck Race, Carols from the Cross to name but a few!), please message us and we will pass your details on.

Thanks again!
The DIckensian Committee

The amazing Lady Morrison Photography was snapping away during the day and the parade, how awesome are her photos!!
She has been kind enough to let us share the pin with you to enable you to download any of her photos if you want them - use 4824 as the pin when prompted 💕

Morning - just a little add on to my post yesterday, I knew I’d forget someone (I was very tired! 🤪)
A huge, huge thank you to those who gave up their time yesterday to marshal the parade!
We struggle every year to get enough volunteers and the reality is we would not get permission to put on the event without you, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
See you all next year?? 🤪🤪🙏🙏

And well done to Naz on being voted the Best Dressed Window! Ok, not technically a window display but we couldn’t let this go unnoticed-we think it’s awesome!

Congratulations to the voted best dressed person, Rebekah Chapman (I think she was a little surprised looking at her face 🤣)

Apparently she was up until late last night making her costume! We think it’s amazing 😁😁
