Christmas Celebrations start at SouthGate Bath

Christmas has officially arrived at SouthGate Bath with the switch on of its festive lights and the announcement of its seasonal celebrations. Every weekend from now until Christmas, festive characters will be popping up at the centre to sprinkle some Christmas cheer.

This includes visits from festive elves who will be performing spellbinding magic tricks, as well as the North Pole Porters who will be on hand to help with your Christmas shopping. There will also be an appearance from one of the most iconic Christmas characters around, The Grinch, who will be causing plenty of mischief and mayhem.

And you can’t always rely on the great British weather or a white Christmas, but you can rely on SouthGate Bath. Look out for regular magical snow flurries outside SouthGate Place. A festive ‘Selfie Sleigh’ will also be there, so be sure to climb inside, snap a picture and tag SouthGate Bath in your photos using #sgbchristmas.

Throughout the festive season, visitors to SouthGate Bath will also be able to make contactless donations to the centre’s four charity partners - Age UK Bath & North East Somerset, Genesis Trust, Bath and North East Somerset Carers’ Centre and Dorothy House - at its giant Giving Box, located in the Secret Garden.

Guy Henderson, centre director at SouthGate Bath, said: “Christmas was a difficult time for many last year, so we want to do what we can to help make this year extra special. We’re excited to have a range of activities and festive characters to help visitors get into the Christmas spirit.”

Late night shopping has returned to SouthGate Bath, with stores now opening late on Thursdays until 8pm, with parking available at the centre as usual. For more information about planning a trip to SouthGate Bath, please visit its Christmas page.
