Martin Walsh, Centre Manager said; “We are excited about welcoming Santa back to Rushmere in 2017.

“This years lights switch on will be bigger and better than ever as we have a host of new Christmas characters throughout the centre and retail park to welcome shoppers this festive season.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to our special event on November 9 and for those who can’t make it on the night, our grotto opening hours will be available on our website and social media. We hope to see Santa’s Snow House grotto the busiest it has ever been.

“With our late-night openings in the run up to Christmas, free parking, and over 65 great stores to choose from, Rushmere has this season’s shopping all wrapped up!”
