This month, people will be able to enjoy “festive, family events” in Eltham and Woolwich.
The events will be held at Passey Place and General Gordon and Beresford Squares on November 22 and November 29 respectively.
The Christmas town centre events will have a range of activities for families to enjoy.
This will include free activities, workshops, and arts and crafts for children to enjoy.
There will also be festive art trails and singalongs for everyone to join in with.
Unique gifts and treats will be available to purchase from local market traders.
The council has also said that guests can swap their sleighs for funfair rides with a selection of children’s attractions.
A “magical” light installation will be welcomed to the Woolwich event.
As well as the two free family events, Greenwich Market will also host its annual light switch on and lantern parade on Wednesday, November 19.
The parade will begin at 4pm before switching on the Christmas lights at 5pm.
Councillor Sandra Bauer, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities, said: “This November, we’re bringing our communities together to celebrate the festive season in our town centres.
“Join us in Eltham and Woolwich for free performances, art trails, crafts and activities for kids.
“These events will bring free, inclusive and accessible festive fun to our residents, while supporting local businesses and boosting our economy.
“Get the dates in your diaries and bring your friends, family and neighbours to kick off the holiday season in style.”
The events have been supported by Bay Media, Marlborough Highways, and Mulalley.
Further details of the events will be announced in the coming weeks by the council.
