Year on year, some of us totally embrace the spectacle, but others are dragged kicking and screaming all the way to December 25th. One thing is for certain no matter what your stance is, Christmas in Caernarfon is truly a wonderful sight to behold.
It could be the sight of the historic castle during this time of the year or could it be because of the high spirit of the locals that Caernarfon is such a special place to be during December, but it’s certainly helped by having plenty of exciting events throughout the month.
With everyone here at the Black Boy Inn fully in the swing of things, it’s time to look ahead to what to expect for this Christmas in our beautiful little town and the surrounding areas.
Christmas Concert – Fort Belan – 6th of December
What better way to kick off the festive season in style than with some fine music entertainment in a rich, historic setting? Expect to see the famous fort decked all out in Christmas colours and the host, Michael Lunts, to deliver a night just as unforgettable as those that have preceded it.

Afternoon Tea with Santa – Electric Mountain – 13th & 14th of December

Santa Trains at Ffestiniog – Ffestiniog Railway – 13th to 20th of December
