The countdown for a glittering Christmas in Portsmouth begins with a dazzling party, now hosted inside Cascades Shopping Centre. Hosted by Greatest Hits Mark Collins, the line-up features stars of panto, Portsmouth Football Club heroes, a cast of local performers and a special visit from Father Christmas.

As the excitement builds on stage, do a little Christmas shopping at the Portsmouth Christmas Market and We Create Market then get ready for a spectacular festive inside Cascades Shopping Centre, near the former Dorothy Perkins shop.
