Bosses at the Trafford Centre have confirmed the details for its Christmas Grotto for 2023 - and a new indoor Christmas Market will surround it.
The shopping centre's Santa's Grotto is always one of the most popular in the region and in previous years has had themes including Paddington and Peter Rabbit.
But this year, it has been announced it will go back to a traditional grotto style, albeit with plenty of magical touches. There will be an "immersive wonderland" where kids will walk through an Enchanted Forest to meet Santa.
