Christmas magic will return to Ealing Broadway this week as the centre unveils its seasonal activity line-up.

From freshly made churros, sprinkled with sugar and comforting winter dishes to vintage mulled wine and indulgent hot chocolate, there’s something to satisfy everyone’s festive tastebuds.

Adding to the festive fun, Ealing Broadway is inviting visitors to help name its brand-new giant, glowing Snowman in Town Square. The centre has launched an online competition running until Monday 24th November, giving locals the chance to win £500 in vouchers to spend at Ealing Broadway’s much-loved retailers. Anyone aged 16 or over can enter via the website, with parents and guardians able to submit entries on behalf of younger children. Find out more on their website:

From 4pm each day, starting on 28th November, the much-loved snow machine will create a gentle flurry, setting a magical scene alongside this year’s brand-new giant snowman.

And that’s not all – this December, visitors can step into the plot of their favourite Christmas films with visits from characters inspired by movies such as Elf, Home Alone, and The Grinch.

The characters will appear at intervals between 11am – 4pm from 6th December to Christmas Eve (24th), giving families plenty of chances to embrace the festive fun and snap a seasonal shot with the much-loved characters. The line-up includes:

• Christmas magic brass band – Saturday 6th December and Friday 20th December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm).
• Cindy and The Mean Green One inspired by The Grinch – Sunday 7th December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm).
• Mrs Claus on her Cookie Bike – Saturday 13th December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and an hour at 3pm)
• Bumbling Burglars inspired by Home Alone - Sunday 14th December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm)
• Magician elf and Christmas coins giveaway – Sunday 21st December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm)
• Buddy inspired by Elf – Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd December (30-minute intervals at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm)

Andrew Rollings, centre director at Ealing Broadway, said: “The countdown to Christmas is officially on, and we’re so excited to welcome visitors back for another festive season packed with fun, laughter and plenty of surprises at Ealing Broadway. From the return of our markets to our new character visits inspired by some of our favourite festive faces, there’s so much for families and friends to enjoy together.

“Whether you’re here for some Christmas shopping, a festive feast or just to soak up the atmosphere, we’ve got everything you need for a brilliant day out.”
