Christmas festivities in Queensgate Shopping Centre will be like nothing you’ve seen before – and we can’t wait!
In a break from the traditional lights switch on, Queensgate Shopping Centre will instead be kicking off the Christmas season with their all new Festive Fiesta on Saturday November 17.
“Families will see the centre come to life at 10.30am with this complete magical takeover. It’s time to get excited, our Festive Fiesta is unlike anything we’ve done before,” said Centre Director at Queensgate, Mark Broadhead.
The centre will also be unveiling a new set of decorations throughout the shopping centre with a fantastic day of magical entertainment you really shouldn’t miss.
They’re promising a stunning extravaganza of dancing, music, entertainment, and magic. Everywhere you look there’ll be a celebration of Christmas. Dancing bellboys, mischievous elves, nutcracker ballerinas, drummers, plus the hilariously hideous Ugly Sisters come to life to start the joyful season with a bang.
And that’s not all! Every hour on the hour, from 11am shoppers can take part in a family fun Christmas Gameshow in which you can win incredible prizes.
Mark commented: “This is the event of the year! We can’t wait to bring Christmas 2018 to life for the people of Peterborough; we have got such an exciting schedule planned. And there will be plenty of surprises too, so keep your eyes peeled for those as the festive season approaches!”
The event also marks the return of Santa’s grotto in Central Square.
