The Great Yarmouth Open Christmas provides a roof, hot meal, entertainment, and a warm welcome on Christmas Day for those who are on their own or homeless in the Great Yarmouth area.
Great Yarmouth Open Christmas will again be at the Marina Centre and the doors will be open from 11am until 6pm.Guests are welcome to stay all day or come and go as they please. Christmas dinner will be served at about 1pm and Christmas tea at around 4pm. During the day there will be music and other entertainment
Transport can be arranged for Christmas Day to and from the Marina Centre. There is a core team of around 30 volunteers who now help at Open Christmas every year with food preparation, transport, entertainment, and the many other tasks which need to be done to make this event run!
We understand that volunteers are still required and priority is given to those who would otherwise be on their own on Christmas Day.
The organisers, Mike and Rosie Hope, can be contacted on: 01508 480300
Mike and Rosie Hope started Norwich Open Christmas in 1992 and then moved onto Yarmouth to start a similar event there eight years ago. Mike and Rosie are the overall leaders of Open Christmas in Norfolk.

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
