Winter Magic back in 2019
Winter Magic is in hiatus in 2018, so will not be held this year. This decision was not made lightly, but the festival will return, refreshed and invigorated, on 22 June 2019. We’re getting a handle on things!
What is Winter Magic?
The Winter Solstice has been celebrated by civilisations ancient and new over millennia.
Often concealed beneath myth, elaborate artifice and tradition, at its core it is a physical event.
The Beginning of Winter Magic
It’s nice to have something you can call your own.
The Winter Magic Festival began in 1994 after a meeting where business invited community to discuss ways of making Yulefest more relevant to local residents and encourage their participation.
The result was a completely new concept – Winter Magic. The festival ran continuously until 2017, and will return in 2019.
It is now in its 25th year and is managed in its entirety by the local community.
