Event Description

“A World of Christmas” is an exhibition of nativity sets from around the world and is open daily between 2pm and 5pm from Saturday 30 November to Sunday 8 December 2024.

This annual exhibition features over three hundred nativities from nearly one hundred countries around the world and makes the perfect start to the season of Advent. Items on display illustrate the Christmas story using wood, metal, paper, felt, wool, fabric, and clay; carved from tropical nuts, formed from recycled bullets and spark plugs, folded from old magazines. The Holy Family appear in the likeness of the people who made them, the attendant animals are indigenous to their area, and many of the craftspeople who create them rely on their work being Fair Trade.

In addition to the exhibition, there will be Christmas refreshments available, plus green Christmas ideas for an eco-friendly, sustainable Christmas.
