A shopping centre is set to host a month of free festive fun.
Mill Gate Shopping Centre in Bury will be hosting a range of Christmas activities from today (November 30) until Christmas Eve.
The centre will be transformed into a 'Winter Garden' where children can write letters to Santa and take part in Christmas crafts.
The fun will begin with the launch of the Snowflake Trail, led by 'Ice Queens.'
Families can pick up a trail map, hunt for hidden snowflakes throughout the centre, and claim festive treats along the way.
Those who solve the trail’s secret word will win a £100 voucher to spend at their favourite Mill Gate store.
On December 7, visitors can capture 'unforgettable memories' in a life-sized Giant Snow Globe, available for one day only.
This perfect photo opportunity offers a winter wonderland backdrop for family snaps, social posts, or a cherished keepsake.
The holiday fun continues on December 14 with the Magical Elf Workshop, where families can craft special letters to Santa, make reindeer food to sprinkle on Christmas Eve, and design magical snowflakes to take home as festive treasures.
On December 21, Santa Claus himself visits Mill Gate.
Families can meet Santa and his elves, pose for photos, and receive a 'special festive treat' just days before Christmas.
Angela Tierney, centre manager at Mill Gate Shopping Centre, said: "We’re delighted to bring the magic of Christmas to our community this year with a wide variety of festive activities.
"Our Winter Garden and events are designed to create joyful memories for families, and we can’t wait to see the smiles on everyone’s faces."
From sparkling trails and creative workshops to meeting Santa, don’t miss the chance to make magical memories at this free festive celebration.
