The festive season has kicked off at White Rose Shopping Centre with the return of the beloved ‘White Rose Express’ Christmas grotto this weekend.
The center is now adorned with steam train-themed decorations, creating a magical Christmas atmosphere. Upon entering the centre, visitors are instantly drawn into the festive spirit, guided by an enchanted train track that leads to Santa Claus waiting in a vintage train carriage. This unique experience will be available every day until Christmas Eve. The holiday excitement extends across White Rose with carnival rides located in The Village, suitable for children aged three to ten. The attractions include tea cups, monster trucks, and bungee trampolines, with rides priced at £3 per child, accepting only card payments.
Moreover, the holiday festivities at White Rose will be further enhanced by the return of its family-friendly ice rink starting November 21st. This year, the ice rink is in partnership with JD, which coincides with the grand opening of its larger, upgraded store in the shopping centre.
The White Rose Shopping Centre is celebrating the opening of its fully-covered ice rink with a special two-for-one ticket offer on launch day, now available for purchase. The ice rink will remain open until January 5th, offering a variety of themed events including toddler sessions, disco nights, and quiet sessions, all of which can be booked in advance.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose Shopping Centre said:
“We love sharing the joy of Christmas here at White Rose, and our White Rose Express grotto transports our guests directly to a magical world. We’re also hosting SEN sessions for families with additional needs every Tuesday morning from 26th November, ensuring that as many children as possible can enjoy the spirit of the season. We look forward to seeing lots of joyful faces at White Rose this Christmas.”
