Santa will appear at 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm, inviting children and their families to help count down to Christmas tree lighting moments. Visitors can also meet movie toy characters at the centre.
Music starts from 4pm, with the Abbey Grammar Jazz Band performing Christmas favourites. From 5pm, Sound Function DJ will take over as the mall fills with interactive games and characters.
Children can report for duty at the Galaxy Training Academy, where they can take on the challenge and try on a space suit and helmet. The Wild West Roundup will have a Longhorn Lasso Challenge and a themed Shooting Alley.
The Friendship Factory will give children the chance to make a gift to share with a friend. Free Toy Box Face Painting will also be available in the mall.
At 6.45pm, visitors can join a festive cowgirl for The Big Christmas Hoedown, a follow-along dance session for the whole family.
James Loughran, Centre Manager at Buttercrane, said: “Christmas is a special time at Buttercrane, and we’re looking forward to welcoming families for an evening full of imagination, fun and festive excitement.
“Our Christmas Toy Box Adventure gives children the chance to become part of the story, whether they’re training for a Galaxy adventure, testing their lasso skills or making a gift for a friend. With music, dancing and visits from Santa, it promises to be a fantastic way to begin the Christmas celebrations together.”
