The event forms part of the Discover Blackburn with Darwen this Christmas campaign this winter
Blackburn town centre will be transformed into a winter wonderland this Christmas season thanks to a giant tipi. The three-peaked 30-metre tent complex will be put up on Cathedral Square and host live music and entertainment, festive markets, a bar, a firepit, barbeque, and dancefloor plus a Santa’s Grotto for families.
Both have received funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Andy Novak, co-owner of the Firepit restaurants group, said: “Cathedral Quarter will be transformed into a true Winter Wonderland this Christmas with the huge Firepit Tipi. “We hosted something very similar in Rawtenstall and it was a huge success and now we’re working hard to make Blackburn’s even bigger and better. We wanted to do something really festive that will draw people to our town centre to support local businesses and also save residents the expense of travelling to big cities.
Cllr Quesir Mahmood, Blackburn with Darwen Council’s growth boss, said: “The Firepit Tipi will be a brilliant draw for visitors this Christmas. It’ll transform the beautiful Cathedral Quarter into a Winter Wonderland – bringing people into our town centre this festive season, supporting businesses right across the area.
