The Christmasaurus at Victoria Centre

The Christmasaurus at Victoria Centre!
Set off on our FREE Christmasaurus Trail, based on Tom Fletcher’s much-loved book. Discover magical surprises as you make your way through the centre, collecting stamps at 8 interactive trail points narrated by Tom Fletcher.

Our free festive family activity has something for all with storytelling events on selected dates between 30th November and 4th January – and magical prizes to be won.

Charity Gift Wrap

During December, once you’ve picked out the perfect Christmas gift, you can head to our gift wrapping unit on the upper mall! Your gift will be expertly wrapped by West Lions and Nottinghamshire Mind volunteers, just in time for the big day. All we ask in return, is that you make a donation, which will be split between the two charities.

Available December 12th – 23rd on the upper mall near Miniso.

 

Cash for Kids

‘Cash for Kids’ ensures no child goes without at Christmas time.

When a family is already struggling to afford food, heating and other essentials, there may be no money left for Christmas presents – and that’s where Cash for Kids steps in.

Throughout December, you’ll be able to donate gifts to ‘Cash for Kids’, find the donation box on our lower mall (next to John Lewis) to give your gift and make a child’s Christmas magical.

A Christmas present cannot remove all the difficulties a child or family is facing. But it can give a parent one less thing to worry about and give a child the excitement of opening something chosen with them in mind.

Choirs

Plus, it wouldn’t be the festive season without choirs!

Throughout December we will be hosting several choirs, who will be making appearances at the Centre across several days.

Are you a part of a choir that would like to come to the Centre, or know someone who is? Let us know by contacting us.
