Ballymena Elim Church is delighted to once again host the very popular annual Christmas on Castle Street - a completely free event telling the story of Christmas and revealing the true meaning of the season.


The event promises to be the most fun-filled festive day out, and in years past has been enjoyed by many families and people from all walks of life.



The team at Ballymena Elim have been working hard over the last weeks preparing a family event which will offer something for everyone in the community to enjoy! Taking place next weekend, Christmas on Castle Street includes:


The Bethlehem Experience – Step back in time, follow the star and join Mary and Joseph on their journey to Bethlehem. Meet Shepherds, Wise Men and Angels while you discover the real meaning of Christmas on this truly remarkable walk-through tour.

Free tours throughout the day. Book on arrival.

Food Tent – Enjoy a FREE BBQ serving both Burgers and Hot Dogs and then sit by the fire toasting marshmallows – what better way to spend a cold December afternoon?


Festive Fun – Other activities include a Christmas trail, a festive photo booth, face painting, Room2Race racing car simulators and much more!



A spokesperson for Ballymena Elim's Christmas on Castle Street commented:


"At Ballymena Elim, we are fully aware of the rising costs of living, but we are committed to ensuring that all aspects of Christmas on Castle Street are FREE for you and your whole family.


"Christmas on Castle Street was birthed out of a desire to bless our town and beyond with the best festive family day out... and that same desire lives on today.


"Jesus came as a little baby freely, and you will get to experience Bethlehem freely as well."
