Countdown to Christmas at Crowngate starts as Father Christmas arrives

Worcester Editorial 4th Dec, 2019   0

FATHER Christmas and his helpers received a wonderful and warm welcome into Worcester over the weekend, as they arrived to open his Winter Wonderland at Crowngate Shopping Centre.

Hundreds gathered at Friary Walk on Sunday (December 1) to enjoy the festive procession, which took a jolly jaunt through the shopping centre, with people of all ages revelling in the jovial atmosphere.

Visitors on a day out over at Chapel Walk were also treated to entertainment and fun, with the man himself posing up a storm in his sleigh, which is parked up in Bell Square.

His festive escapades continue at the Winter Wonderland inside the entrance of Angel Place, along with entertainers at Friary Walk every weekend and on Monday, December 23 between 11am and 4pm.




Children and their families can spend time with him and the elves and capture memorable moments together at the (s)elfie walls.

Over in the Pod in Friary Walk, visitors are invited to get stuck into some seasonal arts and crafts, with an opportunity to decorate the Wishmas Tree. Plus, there are also chances throughout December to win goodies from the roaming Wishmas Wagon.


Diners at Crowngate may also have a surprise served up with their meal, as Father Christmas will also be making special guest appearances in the centre’s restaurants, with giveaways galore.

Mike Lloyd, centre manager at Crowngate Shopping Centre, said: “The experience was truly fantastic, with lots of little ones with awestruck faces and even some adults!

“The whole day perfectly captured what the season is all about – magic, wonder and togetherness.

“We are thrilled friends and families had a great time getting swept away in the merriment and there’s still plenty more to look forward to in the coming weeks,” he added.
