It's officially the 1 November, so that means it's time to start thinking about Christmas.

Although the big day is 54 days away, it's definitely not too early to start preparing and Kingston has a variety of festive-themed events coming up this month to get you in the festive spirit.

For those who are already dreaming of the Kingston Christmas, the Kingston Christmas market officially opens on 14 November with returning favourites and new magical fun.

There will also be Christmas-themed bar and food stalls running from 14 November until 5 January.

Moreover, Alpine Village is back on 7 November.

It will be running from 10am-6pm Monday – Wednesday and 10am-9pm Thursday – Sunday.
