Feeling Festive
Adding some additional festive delight to your Christmas shopping, we have a wonderful festive line-up of walkabout characters popping in in the run-up to the Big Day…
Saturday 27th November at intervals between 12pm – 4pm
The National Elf Service is here to bring laughter and joy to Cwmbran Centre.
This pair of cheeky elves are here to cheer, bursting with music, magic and merriment.
Wednesday 1st December at intervals between 4pm – 7pm
Two elegant and beautifully illuminated twinkling presents skilfully glide their way through the Centre.
Eye-catching and mesmerising, these extraordinary and delightfully vintage presents look like they have appeared from nowhere and can disappear again in a flash. They love to surprise children with a pirouette and a squeal of excitement!
Saturday 4th December at intervals between 12pm – 4pm
Granny got more than she bargained for when she made her Christmas pudding this year! It grew larger than life, soaked up a bit too much magic sherry, and is now running amok!
The Christmas Pudding loves to dance to cheesy Christmas tunes. If it gets a little too cheeky, the Lairy Fairy is there to admonish and tranquilise, if necessary.
Wednesday 8th December at intervals between 4pm – 7pm
Summoning the spirit of Christmas past are the charming Christmas Belles on stilts. Shimmering scarlet with waving gold ribbons and ring out yuletide chimes of good cheer with syncopated hand chimes.
Saturday 11th December at intervals between 12pm – 4pm
Oh no it isn’t – oh yes it is! Panto has been let loose in Cwmbran Centre in all its gaudy glamour and fantastic finery with the hilarious Ugly Sisters in glorious traditional pantomime costumes!
Wednesday 15th December at intervals between 4pm – 7pm
The Lightwalkers are an uplifting magical celebration of light and artistry, a visual spectacular that will mesmerise with simple, starkly beautiful images in a multicoloured swirl of costume and light.
PLUS watch out for Santa visiting with his Elf-friend!
