About our information

We check every listing against the organiser's own website or an official announcement before we publish it, and we record the date we last did so. Even so, Christmas events change: dates move, opening hours are revised, and events are occasionally cancelled at short notice.

Some listings begin life as reader submissions. We verify those the same way before publishing, but we cannot guarantee that every detail on this site is correct or current, and mistakes do get through. Always confirm with the official website before travelling or booking.

Spotted something wrong or out of date? Tell us and we will fix it. Know one we have missed?
