Each day, little ones will be able to pay a visit to Santa from 3pm until 10pm through the week and 4pm to 10pm on weekends, as well as playing in the snow as hourly snowfall drops on the magical festive market. There will also be carnival games and rides plus arts and crafts, face painting and festive storytelling, serving up hours of endless fun for children.

For adults, the festive market will see a variety of vendors selling unique and handcrafted items, making last-minute Christmas shopping totally stress-free.

A huge Christmas tree will be the star of the show – lit up in the centre of the celebrations and visible all the way from Business Bay. Plus the stunning IMAGINE light and laser show will get a festive twist through the month of December, serving as the perfect backdrop to the festive activities.

We know where we’ll be this winter…
