Follow the Star 2026 First Event

'Follow the Star' is an interactive walk-through of the true story of Christmas. The Cairns Road site is transformed into the locations and scenes surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, and you and your family can come and experience some of the sights, sounds and sensations from those important days! The event has been very popular so do book your ticket soon and come along! The event lasts from 2-3.20pm, and we would encourage you to be there for the whole time to enjoy the full experience! This first event is a sensory friendly event, so there will be no live music in the marketplace and if you book on one of the first 4 tours they will be smaller groups and the characters on the tour will adapt their performances to be more sensitive to the group's needs. Below you will need to book onto a tour to go around and 'follow the star' to meet the characters from the story. The rest of the time, before and/or after your tour, you can stay in the main 'marketplace' area which has free food, drinks, crafts and activities for you to enjoy. Do stay until the end for a special Christmas procession of the characters! All ages are welcome at Follow the Star, but please book a free individual ticket for each person attending aged 5 and over in your party. You can do this by clicking on the 'add additional ticket' button at the bottom of the form. It's really helpful on the day if you can remember which tour you are booked on for! Any questions do get in touch with the church office at office@cairnsroad.org Please note: we do not have space for pushchairs, so please think about using a baby carrier instead. If you have any accessibility needs, please do let us know in advance, so that we can best accommodate your needs.
