Silverburn has announced a major programme of festive events.
The site is hosting a celebration of Christmas with live music, Santa meet-and-greets, aerial performances, extended opening hours and gift-wrapping services in the lead-up to December 25.
The events are designed to offer something for everyone, including families, shoppers, and supporters of charity.
David Pierotti, general manager of Silverburn, said: "This year is a big one for Silverburn.
"We have welcomed so many new brands this year which have proved a huge hit with our guests and we’re complementing this with a festive programme designed to engage the whole family.
"From morning through evening, visitors can enjoy a fully festive offer that brings the season to life.
"Silverburn has long been a destination for Christmas shopping, and this year’s festive events and extended opening times elevate the experience even further.
"With our stunning Christmas decorations in place, the centre has been transformed into a Christmas Wonderland, creating a vibrant and memorable setting for everyone who visits."

Throughout December, community choirs, including schoolchildren, charities and local groups, will perform Christmas carols almost every day.

An aerial artist will perform five-minute shows on the hour at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm in the main atrium on December 13, 14, 21, and 22.
For those looking for a helping hand with wrapping, the centre will offer a gift-wrapping service from December 17 to 23, running from 9am to 9pm on weekdays and from 9am to 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Gifts will be wrapped by members of the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, with all proceeds supporting the charity’s work.
