Arndale reveals huge decorations as it gears up for Manchester Christmas Markets
manchestereveningnews.co.ukIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Arndale - with the centre unveiling its decorations for this year’s festivities.
The shopping centre has a new display this year, called ‘The Flight Before Christmas’. Around 65ft high up in the mall, visitors can see the reindeer - with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph all making an appearance - and Santa’s sleigh soar through the centre.
There’s also a 22ft-tall Christmas tree chandelier inside. Outside, there’s a statue of a leaping reindeer and a 26ft gold Christmas tree-shaped structure at the Exchange Square entrance.
The pair will sit opposite the square’s Christmas Market stalls, which open today (November 10).
