The Good Times Christmas Village in Glasgow's newly developed George Square will run from November 19 to December 31, with a programme of live music, ceilidh evenings, quizzes and light shows confirmed.
Sharing the square with festive stalls run by Glasgow City Council, Good Times Market will take over part of the square with festive food traders usually found on the banks of the Clyde. Confirmed traders so far include The Crumbleologist, Holy Smokehouse, Phil's Coffee, and The Wee Taqueria.
Week-long entertainment schedule
Alongside food from across the globe, the village will host party events and live entertainment throughout the week. Founder Scott van der Hoek outlined the lineup on Instagram, saying: "The Good Times Christmas Village is the place to be this Christmas! Whether you're planning your work Christmas party, a night out with friends or a festive family day, we've got something happening all week long."
The weekly schedule includes a Crackers Christmas Quiz Evening on Mondays, ASN Mornings and Boogie Bingo Evening on Tuesdays, a Live Music Evening on Wednesdays, a Ceilidh Band Evening on Thursdays, live music all day on Fridays and Saturdays, and a Boozy Brunch Afternoon with live music on Sundays.
Extras, bookings and charity support
The village will also feature carol singing, local dance sets, light shows, comedy skits, and balloon artists. Entry is free, with no time limit for guests. Groups of 10 or more are urged to book online to secure a place and will have a time limit of two hours per booking.
Workshops throughout the market do not need to be pre-purchased, but as all traders are independent businesses, further information must be sought from them directly.
The village will support several charities through its entertainment. The pub quiz will raise funds for the SoundSational Choir, while boogie bingo proceeds will go to PEEK, which focuses on improving life chances in Glasgow. The village will also donate food on December 24 and 31 to support the Homeless Project Scotland, and for every Christmas tree sold the market will plant another.
The Good Times Christmas Village will run every day apart from Christmas Day, from 11am to 11pm.
