All wrapped upThroughout November and December we’ll be offering a charity gift wrapping service, with all proceeds going to the Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll find our wrapping station on Ashton Gallery and all you have to do is bring along your purchased gifts and for a donation, our volunteers will have them looking fabulous and festive in decorative gift wrap and ribbon – one less thing for you to worry about!

Festive entertainmentChristmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the sound of songs and carols ringing through the air. This year we’re pleased to welcome back a whole host of bands, musical performers and choirs who will perform on the malls throughout November and December, creating a lovely festive atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
