The Boston Christmas Festival is back for 2025 featuring dazzling ice sculptures and festive attractions!

from 2:00pm on Friday 28th November until 4:00pm on Sunday 30th November 2025

The much-loved three-day event will once again bring festive cheer, seasonal shopping, and community celebration to the heart of the town

On Saturday 29 November (only), the town will welcome Glacial Art Ice Sculptors, one of the UK's leading and award-winning ice sculpting company, renowned for their work on blockbuster productions such as Game of Thrones and industry giants like Nescafe and Rolex.

Five magnificent ice sculptures, dubbed the "The Frozen Five" will be installed in the town centre, each intricately carved to reflect the magic of the season. From mythical winter creatures to festive icons, these frozen masterpieces will offer a unique visual experience for all ages.

Adding to the excitement, Glacial Art will also perform a live ice carving demonstration between 12pm and 3pm on Saturday. Spectators will be able to watch as a block of ice is transformed into a detailed sculpture before their eyes.

This year's festival will also feature a new, larger open-air ice-skating rink, giving families and friends the chance to enjoy a classic festive activity in the very heart of Boston.

Alongside the ice rink, visitors can look forward to a selection of fairground rides, including a traditional cakewalk, ferris wheel and a range of children's rides, bringing even more fun and entertainment to the weekend.

Additionally, the Christmas Festival will feature a vibrant market each day, offering a wide range of seasonal products, handmade gifts, festive food and drink, and unique items from local traders.

Traditional favourites such as mulled wine, Bratwurst sausages, hog roast, cakes and pastries will be available, alongside artisan stalls selling gingerbread, jewellery, wooden crafts and a wide variety of Christmas decorations.

Entertainment will be at the heart of the festival, with a town-centre main stage featuring live music from local bands and wholesome community performances.

The Illuminate Parade, organised by Transported Arts, will return again this year with the theme labelled "Illustrated Boston", featuring a creative mix of activities
