From the return of the giant reindeer to a new festive afternoon tea and a family Christmas light switch-on, Christmas is well and truly coming to Gosforth.

The giant lit-up reindeer at Three Mile is Gosforth has already become an iconic local landmark at Christmas.

A community hub for Gosforth residents and families across the North East, Three Mile has a 2023 Christmas calendar that’s bigger than ever before…

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH-ON

17^th November, 5pm

With live music, hot chocolate, mulled wine and carols from Gosforth Parish Choir – the Christmas light switch-on at Three Mile this year looks set to be a cracker…

The now-iconic giant reindeer is back for its third year – keep an eye on Three Mile’s social media page as they are looking for nominations for a local child to press the big red button to light him up and kick off the celebrations.

No need to book tickets, just turn up and have fun.
