Wapping Wharf has confirmed the date of its Christmas lights switch-on promising a "very special" event this year. Businesses will be lighting up their shop fronts in the Cargo development next week and staying open for late-night shopping.
Festivities have swept over the city in the last week starting with the arrival of Bristol Christmas Market in Broadmead. Propyard has also opened its city centre ice rink as part of a new festive attraction called Winterland as well as the launch of a pop-up apres ski bar.
This year's harbourside event will be held next Thursday (November 17) kicking off at 5.30pm with carols and traders will be illuminating their shop fronts from 6.30pm. Shops will remain open until 8pm for late-night shopping, whilst bars and restaurants will serve diners later as per their regular opening hours.
