Christmas is coming ... so get your skates on and shop til you drop
Roller rink is one of the many highlights
Christmas is coming to Paisley next month with a line-up of family-friendly fun weekends.
Paisley First, together with Renfrewshire Council, is putting on Paisley’s Big Christmas Weekends, with family entertainment including stilt walkers, magicians, jugglers, balloon modellers, face painting, music and plenty more each weekend in December.
There will also be a roller rink in County Square from Saturday, December 4 till Sunday, December 19, while Santa’s reindeer will be popping into the town centre for a visit on Saturday, December 4 and 11.
Christmas markets will be on each weekend in December and there’s a family trail for kids to find all the Christmas characters dotted around the town centre.
A pop-up panto – Wee Red Riding Hood – will take place at Coats Venue on Saturday, December 18, with tickets starting at £2.50.
Colette Cardosi, chair of Paisley First, said: “We are making up for last year and bringing festive fun for the whole family to enjoy back to Paisley town centre.
“We’ll have entertainment for the kids, a chance for you to get your Christmas shopping sorted and plenty of food and drink venues to help you make the most of festive family get-togethers.
“And, don’t forget, Paisley’s Christmas Golden Ticket Competition is back with £500 of Paisley town centre gift vouchers up for grabs for four lucky winners.
“Paisley is the only place to be this Christmas.”
Around 65p from £1 spent local, stays local so you can support the community and its businesses while enjoying the festive fun.
Renfrewshire Council leader Iain Nicolson said: “We are delighted to be working with local businesses through Paisley First and to have helped make Paisley’s Big Christmas
Weekends possible.
“The team at Paisley First has put on a great programme of activities, which gives families lots of reasons to come into Paisley town centre in the weeks running up to Christmas this year.
“Money spent in the local economy stays in the local economy Paisley is home to a great selection of local businesses and we encourage Renfrewshire residents to see what’s on offer and spend local wherever they can.”
