And there’s a handy teepee seating area where you can eat your tasty treats and snuggle up by a fire pit while relaxing and listening to regular live music and entertainment over the festive period.

Meanwhile there are ride attractions for all the family, with a stunning Victorian Carousel as well as a Big Wheel, which is more than 55m high, offering magnificent views of the local area and intu Trafford Centre’s spectacular Christmas lights.

There’s also a Christmas chocolate factory with lots of candy treats to choose from and Christmas wreath workshops with local florist Ixia Flowers – new for 2019.
