Christmas shopping, creative workshops and festive nights out are coming to Loughborough Town Hall this winter with a program of events offering plenty of ways to get together and celebrate the season.

Next, Christmas Bauble Painting with Elizabeth Sorosinatakes place on Sunday 8 November, with sessions from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm. Participants will decorate two ceramic baubles to take home in gift boxes, with guidance on using paints, pens and decoupage. No previous experience is needed. Tickets cost £30 per person and the workshop is recommended for ages 16 and over.
If you’re more of a shopper than a maker, the Sock Christmas Art & Craft Fair follows on Sunday 22 November 2026. Artists and makers from the local area and further afield will bring a selection of handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles and artwork, offering visitors the chance to find Christmas gifts and support independent creative businesses.

For those planning a festive night out, the Town Hall’s Christmas parties bring a real sense of occasion to the celebrations. The beautiful Victoria Ballroom, in the heart of Loughborough, provides an elegant setting for an evening of delicious festive food, music and dancing, complete with a brand-new private bar.
A welcome glass of fizz gets the party started, followed by dinner and a DJ playing favourites to keep the dance floor busy. Whether gathering friends or celebrating with colleagues, it’s a chance to dress up, raise a glass and celebrate making it to Christmas in style!
Seated dining is available on Friday 4, Saturday 5 and Friday 11 December, priced at £46.95 for two courses or £52.95 for three. Menu choices include roast turkey with traditional accompaniments and an onion and mushroom Wellington, followed by Christmas desserts.
