Children were excited to see Santa arriving in his sleigh and switching on the Christmas lights. The special visitor then took up residence in the centre’s brand new magical Christmas grotto.
Families had plenty of fun enjoying the festive atmosphere and browsing the twilight market.
Photographer Tony Hendron went along to capture some of the fun.
