Our Christmas tree is up at Puss in Boots
The Christmas tree is now up at Puss in Boots, and it’s looking lovely out in the garden. It’s all set for our Christmas lights switch-on on Saturday 21st November, and you’re all invited.
The light switch on runs from 4pm to 7pm across our outdoor area and car park. Entry is free and there are no tickets to sort, so bring the family or a few friends and come and get into the Christmas spirit with us.
Everyone’s favourite quizmaster Martin Bellis will be hosting the afternoon, keeping things moving and leading us towards the big countdown. Stockport Silver Band will be providing the music, and we’ve invited Banks Lane’s school choir along to sing carols and festive songs. We’re hoping to have some special appearances from a few festive characters too.
Local makers, craftspeople and independent businesses will be setting up stalls, with handmade gifts, crafts and Christmas decorations. It’s a chance to make a start on your festive shopping and support some brilliant local businesses while you’re at it.
We’ll have a hog roast serving pulled pork barms, plus an outdoor bar with mulled wine, hot chocolate and soft drinks for the younger ones. Our usual choice of beer and cider will be on too, so there’s plenty to keep you going while you browse the stalls and enjoy the entertainment.
We’re raising money for Banks Lane Primary School’s PTA on the day, so it’s a lovely way to bring the neighbourhood together and give something back to a local school.
Stay for the switch-on
As the afternoon turns to evening, we’ll all gather for the countdown and switch on the Christmas lights. The live music carries on inside the pub afterwards, so you’re very welcome to stay and make a night of it. We’ll announce the exact switch-on time closer to the date.
If you can’t wait until the 21st, the tree is there to see whenever we’re open, and the garden is a lovely spot for a drink if you wrap up warm.
Our Christmas menu starts on Monday 23rd November too, so if the festive get-together is still on your to-do list, you can see what’s coming and book a table on our Christmas page.
