Come along to the Trafford Centre this Christmas, where the secret woods within its grounds have been transformed into a winter wonderland filled with lights and illuminations

Following the success of The Halloween Trail, The Trafford Centre is laying on a spectacular Christmas Trail filled with light installations in the 4.5-acre Wilderspool Woods within its grounds. 

Some of the fantastic installations include ‘The Moon’, a giant glowing sculpture surrounded by lights and beams of light, ‘Shooting Stars’ and ‘Giant Orbs’. Curious explorers will, no doubt, follow the festive glow to discover a collection of giant illuminated presents brought by Father Christmas - this, along with all of the other installations, makes for some fantastic festive photo opportunities.

Visitors can also enjoy food and drink from several Freight Island pop-ups along the trail, including Formaggi, Voodoo Rays, Winter Warmers and Cabin Chocolat!

Price: £8.25 for adults, £6.75 for children

Please note: the trail contains strobe lighting as well as sudden loud noises, and so may not be suitable for everyone
