Apart from gift-buying and eating, the Village also has an entertainment programme, with visits from Santa Claus and live bands. On Friday and Saturday, there will be painting and Christmas crafts activities for young visitors, Christmas fairy tales and story telling as well as face-painting and balloon creations.

On Sunday, the market, a theatre workshop for children, a creative writing workshop, festive tales and a live performance by the Konia music group will entertain the crowds before the event wraps up and the village welcomes the New Year.
