About

Christmas comes to Guildhall Shopping Centre as late night shopping begins every Thursday from 21st November until 19th December, along with several exciting new store openings, and lots of fantastic entertainment to get you in the festive mood.

Mean, green and grumpy. Get ready to dive into the Christmas spirit as the Guildhall lights up for the season on Friday 15th November with a special guest switching on the lights. Come on down to Market square from 4pm!

On 23rd November there's an opportunity to meet and play with gentle Star Bears – mama Ursa and her starry cub Little Bear! Accompanied by sweet music, they love to meet people, enjoy being stroked and played with. 

Listen for the screech of burning rubber and no pavement is safe as the only shopping trolley dance display team make a popular return to Guildhall Shopping Centre on the weekend of 30th November and 1st December. Granny Turismo will be arriving on their souped-up shopping trolleys and they're a force to be reckoned with!

The popular annual toy drive is also making a welcome return, with drop off locations located outside Wilko and on the first floor by Little Exeter, until Sunday 22nd December.
