Exiting news! Walk-in Snow Globe coming 30th November

For the last few months we have been organising this amazing photo opportunity.

Save the date for this FREE event and bring along the family for a special photo opportunity inside the snow globe. Fans will be blowing fake snow around inside to make it even more magical.

The snow globe will be positioned towards the front of the Christmas tree in the market square and will be here from 9am til 5pm.

A marshalled queueing system will be in place.
