The arrival of Rudolph and friends in the centre can only mean one thing; Santa has arrived to take up residence in his magical Grotto. Located outside Debenhams, Mr. Claus will be welcoming visitors daily right up until the 24th of December. With an entry price of £5.00, each little guest will meet Father Christmas and receive a special gift to commemorate the occasion. Santa is extremely busy preparing all the toys this Christmas so parents are asked to book in advance at www.st-enoch.com
Elsewhere in the centre, the festivities continue with Hamleys ‘I met Father Christmas’ experience. An interactive event, where children can enjoy a magical fun-filled breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner with Santa. With scrumptious food, entertainment, arts and crafts, singing and dancing and much, much more, it is sure to be an occasion to cherish with your little ones. Children can enjoy this magical experience surrounded by the world’s finest toys from the 28th of November right up until Christmas Eve. The event lasts an hour and costs £25 per child.
If your little ones are too young for a trip to Hamleys, then why not commemorate this special time of year at Baby’s Frist Christmas. Each baby registered will receive a special keepsake from Hamleys as well as a certificate. The first 250 babies will also be invited to a special event to meet Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty on the 5th of December where they will each have their picture taken to celebrate the special moment.
Families will also have the opportunity to meet The Snowman™ who will be visiting the centre on Sunday 22nd November. Wee ones can relive the magic of Raymond Briggs’ festive classic at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm & 3pm.
Shoppers are also encouraged to take a snap with the beautiful Christmas decorations to be in with a chance of winning £250 vouchers to spend in centre. Simply take a photo and share it on Twitter @stenochcentre, Facebook.com/stenochcentre or on Instagram @stenochcentre with #1stforChristmas to be in with a chance of winning.
Elsewhere, the Style Mile Carnival will be livening up the city on the 22nd November when 400 performers take to the streets of Glasgow from 12.30pm. The carnival kicks-off outside the centre in St. Enoch Square and makes it way to Nelson Mandela Place. Why not head to St. Enoch for a hot drink and cake from Kimble’s before finding your spot to watch the performances.
This year, Glasgow will once again be overrun with a sea of Santas for the city’s annual Santa Dash. The Santa Dash pop-up shop, on the first floor opposite H&M, will be returning to its home in the centre from Thursday 19th November where keen runners can collect their suits. This year around 8,000 Santas are expected to take part in the 5k which takes place on Sunday 6th December.
