You can still catch it at the East of England Arena and Events Centre until December 30 - and it comes with a difference as there’ll be absolutely no mention of Christmas giving visitors a welcome rest from festive overload.

Look out for a 200ft section of The Labyrinth Challenge, the world’s longest, continuous, inflatable obstacle course, live shows from The Little Mix Experience, performances from local dance troupes, along with the chance for the kids to meet the stars of Peppa Pig, PAW Patrol and PJ Masks.
