Celebrating Christmas with Strawberry Field and All Hallows Church – 28 November

Taking place on November 28, the concert will feature performances by Liverpool Walton Salvation Army Band and All Hallows Choir. BBC Radio Merseyside’s Paul Beesley will serve as the evening’s compère, with proceeds from the concert shared between All Hallows Church and Strawberry Field to find their work within the community.
Community Christmas Carols – 16 December
On Wednesday, 16 December, Strawberry Field will host Community Christmas Carols with music from the Liverpool Walton Salvation Army Band and its Steps to Music group. There will be winter warming drinks, mince pies and a knitted nativity scene in the garden. Entry is free, but donations are gratefully received.
Storytime with Father Christmas – 18 December
On Friday 18 December, Father Christmas will return to Strawberry Field for a festive story time. Families are invited to bring their children for stories told by Father Christmas over hot chocolate and cookies. Tickets cost £12 per child and include a special goody bag. Tickets are available here.
For children who want to meet Father Christmas, but would not enjoy sitting though story time, photo only sessions are also available. Tickets are available here.
Strawberry Field Visitor Exhibition – Every Day
Those looking for something different to do around Christmas and New Year can visit Strawberry Field to learn the history of Strawberry Field and how it inspired a young John Lennon.
