It’s that magical time of year in Barnsley. It’s been a tough year, so we’re all in need of some proper festive cheer, and this December we’re championing local high streets in our borough. Shops, salons and pubs all over our borough are trimmed up, stocked up and ready to welcome you this Christmas.

We've got range of fantastic festive events running in our libraries this December, including Christmas craft sessions and children's story times. Take a look and see what's happening in Library @ the Lightbox and your local branch.

There's plenty going on at Barnsley's museums throughout December. From taking part in our winter bird trail at Worsbrough Mill Country Park, to going on a guided history tour at Elsecar Heritage Centre, there's sure to be something for everyone. There's also the Victorian Santa experience at Cannon Hall, and new exhibitions at the Cooper Gallery.
