You could hardly find a destination more Christmassy than Melrose Arch this festive season with the upmarket shopping and dining precinct transformed into a Christmas wonderland with the most impressive Christmas illuminations in town. The kids will love wandering through the glow of thousands of Christmas lights in the 'Fantasy Garden' on the Melrose Arch piazza where photo opportunities abound under a festive tunnel of lights that includes life-sized illuminated reindeers, giant teddy bears, Christmas trees, elves and other dazzling illuminations.

In addition to the glittering light display, Melrose Arch is pulling out all the stops with a bumper programme of festive events including a Christmas night market, pipe band performances and visit from Santa Claus.
