Father Christmas is Popping to Pigneys
About
Even Father Christmas is Popping to Pigneys!
We've got a very special visitor popping in to see us this Christmas, and it's all for a fantastic local cause!
Father Christmas will be joining us in his very own specially built grotto at H. Pigney & Son in Appleby-in-Westmorland on Saturday 28th November, helping us raise money for Appleby Christmas Lights!
Every year, the Christmas Lights committee do a wonderful job of making Appleby look so festive, so we thought we'd do our bit to help raise some funds and keep our lovely town shining bright at Christmas!
What to expect:
Meet Father Christmas in his grotto
A special gift for every child
Free entry – donations welcome
No booking required – just pop in!
Saturday 28th November 2026
10am–12pm and 2pm–4pm
H. Pigney & Son, Appleby-in-Westmorland
There's no charge to visit Father Christmas, but any donations would be very much appreciated, with all money raised going directly to Appleby Christmas Lights.
Our hardware shop will also be full of Christmas trees, decorations, lights and gifts, so there's plenty to browse while you're here!
We'd love to welcome local families and visitors alike for a little festive fun while supporting a brilliant local cause.
So bring the little ones and #poptoPigneys for a visit from Father Christmas!
