A magical event is lighting up Cullercoats this December in a free Christmas-themed treat for all ages.
The Cullercoats Community Advent kicked off on December 1 and runs all the way until December 30. If you’re not familiar with the prospect, think of it as a giant real-life advent calendar - with new festive scenes popping up in the area each day in the countdown to Christmas.
The unique event is sponsored by For the Love of the North, the fiercely local shop housed in Whitley Bay’s Spanish City offering a range of unique North East memorabilia, and talented Cullercoats artist Joanne Wishart - whose gallery forms part of the stunning advent trail. The displays are for everyone to enjoy for free, and range from the traditional to the wacky as local residents and businesses show off their creative flair.
