Christmas activities

With festive season in full swing, we’ve transformed the centre into a magical winter wonderland - the perfect place to soak up Christmas cheer, make memories and enjoy some family fun. This December, we’re hosting Festive Character Meet & Greets, where you can bring the kids along to meet some of their favourite characters in person, snap photos and create lovely festive memories.

Beyond the meet-ups, the centre is decked out in stunning decorations – a sight worth a visit in itself. Plus, look out for Christmas festivities including a programme of community choirs, performers and bands in the centre, taking place every weekend throughout December.
