Christmas Starts at Eastgate
Saturday 14th November | Festive fun from 10am
Christmas Starts at Eastgate this November with a day packed with FREE festive fun for the whole family!
Santa’s Cheeky Elves will be causing mischief around Eastgate, meeting shoppers and spreading plenty of Christmas cheer. Little ones can also put their festive skills to the test at Elf University, where they’ll discover whether they have what it takes to become one of Santa’s trusted helpers.
Keep your eyes peeled throughout your visit too, as a very mischievous festive visitor will be roaming Eastgate and creating plenty of fun along the way!
There’ll also be a festive treat for shoppers, with Santa’s Cheeky Elves handing out a limited number of vouchers for a FREE small hot chocolate from Starbucks.*
And, of course, no Christmas visit would be complete without Father Christmas himself! Santa’s Grotto will open for the festive season on Saturday 14th November and is completely FREE for families to visit.
