Walterz Entertainment Centre marks Leon Day with festive preview of Christmas
Walterz Entertainment Centre in Staining brought festive cheer to June this week as it celebrated Leon Day-the halfway point to Christmas-with a snow-filled preview of its 2026 party season.
Walterz Entertainment Centre at Newton Hall Holiday Park embraced the spirit of Christmas early this week as it marked Leon Day with a festive showcase packed with food, entertainment and winter wonderland fun.
The popular venue was transformed on Wednesday June 24, as specially invited guests swapped sunshine for Santa hats to celebrate the halfway point to Christmas 2026.
Leon Day - “Noel” spelled backwards and observed on June 25 - has become a quirky seasonal milestone for Christmas enthusiasts, signalling that the countdown to the big day is officially on.
Visitors were treated to a preview of Walterz’ upcoming Christmas party offering, sampling festive dishes and experiencing the venue’s mix of modern and traditional entertainment.
Guests enjoyed ten-pin bowling, AR darts, pool and pinball, as well as lively karaoke sessions in themed booths, all set to a soundtrack of seasonal hits from a live DJ.
A spokesperson for Walterz said the event was designed to bring “Christmas to life six months early” and showcase the centre’s ambition to deliver “bigger, brighter and packed with entertainment” festive celebrations.
“Our Christmas parties are all about creating unforgettable experiences, so what better way to launch them than by bringing Christmas to life six months early? The atmosphere has been incredible and it’s been wonderful to see everyone embracing the festive spirit.”
