The lights have already been turned on in Ilford, Redbridge but the fun of Christmas hasn’t stopped. Various activities and events will be taking place in Ilford for those who wish to embrace the festive spirit within the local area. Events will range from breakdancing to rapping Santa Claus, all linked with the theme of Urban Christmas. Every weekend until the 23rd the Santa Dance Crew will be in the Town Centre. All ages can come along to the town centre and take part in some modern contemporary dancing as well as watching some “Body popping “(amazing breakdancing moves)from the pros.

If you’re not so much a dancer, don’t worry and check out MC Rudeboy who can record a rap for your phone’s answering machine. Who doesn’t want a rap for their answering tone? Not only that, but MC Rudeboy will be mixing up Christmas tracks live at the exchange. With prizes and giveaways all taking place, the Ilford Exchange is the place to be this Christmas period. So if you live in the area, pop down to the Exchange and you never know you might even get a photo with Santa Claus!
