Youngsters visiting Santa will get a free gift while stocks last, with treats set to include either a snowball squishy, Santa lolly or sweets.
And there will be free face painting for children every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm while Santa is there.
Lucy Grice, Marketing Manager for Trinity Walk, said: “We know our shoppers really enjoy visiting us at Christmas and how popular our free Santa’s grotto is, which is why we always want to try and improve things every year.

"We liked our previous illuminations, but after a decade they were ready for a refresh and we hope people will like them.
“Offering a quality Christmas experience, like our grotto, for free is important to us – and our families – now more than ever.”
