Countdown to Christmas at Luton Point
Luton Point is kicking off the festive season in style with a magical programme of free family fun with something different each weekend from November 22, and daily activities from December 20 right up until Christmas Eve.
Central Square will be filled with festive cheer as families are invited to join the Countdown to Christmas at Luton Point, packed with creative workshops, character appearances, live entertainment and plenty of seasonal sparkle.
The celebrations begin on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November, when visitors can step into the Bauble Arena and get creative with bauble decorating, perfect for little hands and big imaginations. The annual Luton Christmas lights switch on event also takes place on Saturday 22nd November, with a variety of activities around the town centre all day culminating in the lights switch on at the Town Hall offering so a brilliant free day out for all the family.
The following weekend, Saturday 29th November, Peppa Pig will be making personal appearances at intervals between 11am and 4pm, followed by SpongeBob SquarePants on Sunday 30th November. Adding to the excitement, Father Christmas himself will be appearing across the weekend, handing out free festive gifts to children until 5pm each day.
On Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December, families can take part in the Luton Point Christmas Family Bingo, filled with laughter, prizes and festive cheer for all ages. The festivities continue on Saturday 13th December with the Luton Point Christmas Concert, a heart-warming celebration featuring performances from talented local groups and choirs. Then on Sunday 14th December visitors can boogie into the holidays at the Luton Point Christmas Disco, bringing festive fun for the whole family.
From Saturday 20th to Wednesday 24th December, Mrs Claus’ Gingerbread Kitchen will open its doors, inviting children to decorate their own sweet treats and take home a delicious Christmas memory.
Plus daily from 22nd November until Christmas Eve, families can enjoy Luton Point’s Festive Trail, where they can explore the centre and learn about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries across the world for their chance to win a Family Prize Bundle worth over £200. Plus there’ll be lots more chances to win and Christmas gift inspiration on the Luton Point social media channels and centre e-newsletter as we countdown to Christmas.

From Peppa Pig and SpongeBob SquarePants meet and greets to festive crafts with Mrs Claus, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and best of all, it’s completely free!”
