There’s also plenty of other festive entertainment on the night too including cabaret performances from the award-winning Pi the Mime, Santa DJ sets courtesy of Christmas dive bar Humbug and even a snowboard simulator with some awesome prizes to be won on the night!.
A Christmas pop-up market will be providing plenty of dining and gift shopping opportunities and of course there’s Leake Street bars Mamuśka!, Passyunk Avenue and Draughts keeping things festive and toasty long into the night.
Other free activities to join in include graffiti workshops from Leake Street artist-in-residence Max The Virus, festive face painting for the kids and free Christmas wreath-making classes.
Cash and card donations will be collected through the night in aid of the Waterloo Foodbank and adding to the festive cheer there’s even a snow machine blowing snow flurries through the tunnel to make sure you catch the perfect reel.
