What's on at Rushden Lakes this Christmas with competitions, festive fayre, and more
Rushden Lakes has shared details about its Christmas schedule, with family-friendly activities taking place all through December.
Alpacas, competitions, the Nutcracker Trail, and more activities make up Christmas at the shopping centre.
Donna French, Centre Manager at Rushden Lakes said: “Christmas is our favourite time of year at Rushden Lakes, as it’s a season of joy, gifting, and togetherness. This year, the much-loved Festive Fayre has returned to delight visitors during their day out at our destination and is offering everything from mulled wine to mince pies.
“There’s also a spirit of giving back through prizes to be won and a Christmas community activity with our charity partner, The Never Alone Project (TNAP).
“We look forward to welcoming you all this December, to experience our unique blend of retail, dining, and nature.”
The Festive Fayre at Rushden Lakes will run until New Year’s Eve, with stalls including Yorkshire pudding wraps, German sausages, churros, fudge, and mulled wine.
The Nutcracker Trail will be open until Sunday, January, 4, where visitors can pick up a free map from customer services and discover all 10 festive characters throughout the centre. Those who write down each of their names to finish the challenge can then enter their details for the chance to win a £50 voucher from the newly-opened The Entertainer.
Younger visitors can enjoy entertainment from a juggler between midday and 4pm on Saturday December 13, and Sunday December 21.
Visitors can also meet and feed Watermeadow Park’s Alpacas at ‘The Relaxation Zone' between Lago Lounge and Wildwood at 10am every weekend in the lead up to Christmas Day.
Donations collected during the Christmas period will support the wellbeing of the herd, who are cared for all year-round at Ditchford Lock.
