YOUR Pictures of Christmas Steps!

Here in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter, we always knew how pretty and photogenic our Christmas Steps were, but we never knew how beloved they were of everyone else - especially when the Christmas Lights are up.

The lights are supplied, installed and the switch-on arranged each year by, SHOP (Vintage Lounge & Arts Venue) CIC, who are based on the Christmas Steps.

Thanks to Twitter we've collated some of the very best pictures of the lights on the Steps - and we'll be sure to add more as we find them - please feel free to send us yours @CSArtsQuarter!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Royal Mail Christmas Stamp Launch on The Christmas Steps

The Christmas Steps Art Quarter was treated to carols sung by the Royal Mail Choir from the television series Sing While You Work as The Royal Mail launched the 2012 Christmas Stamps on the Christmas Steps.

Their was no Gareth Malone in attendance, however all the choir were in fine voice and proudly holding aloft the large versions of this year's stamp designed by Gruffalo children's book artist Axel Scheffler.
The new stamps are also a collaboration with children’s author and poet, Tony Mitton, whose well known works include the Amazing Animals series and Crazy Camelot Capers. Tony Mitton created a narrative poem called ‘Starry Story', a Christmas tale including all the characters that appear on the stamps.

The stamps will be available on November 6.
