Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFP25 - Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival takes place in Lymm each year, and spreads good tidings and Christmas cheer!
When does the Lymm Dickensian Festival take place?
The Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival is an annual event, which has taken place for over a quarter of a century in Lymm Village. It is held on the second Saturday in December and is organised and run by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee.
Every year the Lymm community comes together with the support of the Lymm Parish Council to take the village back in time to a different era, when Dickens was alive, and where you might see Ebenezer Scrooge strolling through the streets. All of the community becomes involved, and Father Christmas himself takes time out of his busy pre Christmas schedule to attend the event.
There is a festival parade to entertain visitors, where you will see floats from local schools, vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages and of course Santa and his elves. Throughout the village there will be stalls selling local goods, and spreading Christmas cheer. Punch and Judy also take a turn to entertain, along with jugglers, street performers, musicians and Morris Dancers.
It's all in a good cause
All of the profits raised by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee each year are donated to a chosen charity.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4580364833 - 'Warrington town hall\u2019s Grade II listed gates were last refurbished in 1978 and in February 2018, a passer-by spotted chunks falling from the ironwork.
A survey carried out before the English Half Marathon found parts of the gate were \u2018alarmingly unstable\u2019.
Contractors warned that although the structure was safe, the council would be taking a risk if runners were to start and end the race by passing through the town's Golden Gates.
The council has now hired engineering consultants Ramboll to apply for planning permission to remove the gates so repair work can be carried out at a secure location.
If the plans go ahead, the refurbishment should be completed in time for the Walking Day procession to pass through the Golden Gates next summer.
Work could cost in the region of \u00a3500,000.
Planning documents say it will take several months for the gates to be restored and temporary fencing will be put in place while the work is carried out.
According to the local newspaper, Warrington Borough Council Leader, Cllr Terry O\u2019Neill, said: \u201cThe golden gates are an iconic symbol of Warrington and a hugely important part of our history and heritage.
\u201cThey are also part of the Grade I listed Town Hall site, which we have a duty to preserve. That\u2019s why we want to take action now to protect their future.
\u201cIt\u2019s important to remember that these gates are unique \u2013 there are no others like them in the world. Therefore, this will require very complex, technical works.\u201d
About 10 of the floral decorations on the gates are broken and areas of decorative ironwork are also corroded.
The smaller pedestrian gates are also broken and cannot be opened.
Cllr O\u2019Neill added: \u201cThis planning application is the next stage of this important project. If it is approved, we can move ahead with identifying a firm with the right expertise \u2013 who can provide value for money, and take a conservation-based approach that will ensure our gates remain a much-loved symbol of our civic pride for many years to come.\u201d
The Golden Gates were built in 1862 and were destined to be a gift for Queen Victoria to be installed at Sandringham. But when she went to take a look at them, she was shocked to see a statue of Oliver Cromwell standing behind them and refused to accept the present.
Interesting factoid: Contrary to popular belief they have not removed the 4th angel. The winged figures represent Nike, goddess of Victory, actually a nod to Queen Victoria in 1895.
