Head to theme park for family festive fun

M&DS Theme Park has launched “Destination Christmas”to offer a festive feast of entertainment for Monklands families.

Top of the bill is Santa’s Magical Circus in the Big Top – a 45-minute show that sees Santa kidnapped by an evil witch who wants to ruin Christmas.

Join the adventure, which will include knife throwing, aerial acrobatics and fire breathing.

The show, which costs £9.50 per person plus a booking fee, will run on selected dates and times until Christmas Eve.

Elsewhere in the Motherwell venue, visitors can test their skills on M&DS on Ice and enjoy a 45-minute skating session under the stars.

Visitors can also sample the delights of a traditional Christmas market featuring arts and crafts and festive good and drinks, alongside a Bavarian Bar.

Tickets cost £7.95 for adults aged 16-plus and £6.70 for a child. Skating aids are also available for hire and ASN sessions are available on selected dates.

Jensen Taylor Connelly of M&DS said:“we’re all really looking forward to a magical Christmas this year and the team have worked hard to provide as wide a variety of attractions as possible that will appeal to everyone but, of course, children in particular.”
