Christmas at The Beacon

Christmas is coming to The Beacon!

The most wonderful time of the year is almost here, and we’ve got plenty planned to make Christmas at The Beacon extra special.

From festive family fun and a brand-new LEGO trail to pantomime stars, Christmas jumpers and opportunities to give something back, there are lots of reasons to visit us throughout the festive season.

Christmas arrives on 22 November

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Our festive decorations will be going up across the centre from 22 November, bringing a little extra sparkle to your Christmas shopping.

Keep your eyes peeled later in the month too, as our Christmas LEGO Trail will be arriving at The Beacon. Follow the trail, track down the LEGO characters and displays hidden around the centre and see if you can find them all. Full details coming soon!

Meet the stars of the panto

Oh yes they are! On 28 November, some of the stars of The Hippodrome’s Christmas pantomime will be visiting The Beacon.

Come along, meet some familiar festive faces and get into the panto spirit ahead of this year’s show.

Step into the magic of Christmas

This December, Doors Between will be bringing an immersive Christmas experience to The Beacon, inviting families to step into a magical festive world.

There will be specially designed options for SEN children, helping more families enjoy the experience in a way that works for them. There will also be an experience created for older children who might be starting to question the magic of Santa, keeping the wonder of Christmas alive as they begin to see the festive season in a whole new way.

More details, including dates and booking information, will be announced soon.

Wear your Christmas jumper!

Dig out your reindeer, snowmen, sequins and festive sparkle because 9 December is Christmas Jumper Day at The Beacon.

Whether you go for something wonderfully tasteful or brilliantly over the top, we’d love to see shoppers and centre teams getting into the Christmas spirit.

Give a little magic with our Giving Tree

Christmas is also a time for giving, and our Giving Tree will once again help local children who might otherwise go without a present this Christmas.

Simply choose a tag from the tree, buy a gift for the child described and return it to the designated collection point. The presents will then be distributed to children in need through local primary schools, helping to make Christmas morning a little more special for families across our community.

Make Christmas memories at The Beacon

Whether you’re shopping for the perfect present, following our LEGO Trail, meeting a panto star, enjoying a magical Christmas experience or helping a local child through our Giving Tree, we hope you’ll join us at The Beacon this Christmas.
