If you are looking for some free indoor Christmas family activities during December, The Mall at Cribbs Causeway has plenty of festive options.
Santa will be doing storytelling sessions Monday to Friday at 9.30am, 10.30am and 11.30am and Sundays at 11am. The sessions are targeted at Early Years visitors and include Mog's Christmas, amongst other classics.
The Christmas fun continues over the weekend (Saturdays and Sundays) and the week leading up to Christmas as Santa and the elves take over The Mall with their entertainment between 10am - 6pm each day (11am-5pm Sundays) with festive parades, fun and games, and even a Santa and The Festive Elves Show!
And that's not all! Mog’s Christmas story has come to life with an interactive trail throughout the mall.
Pick up a free booklet at the information desk and explore The Mall to discover the whole story, collecting stamps at each playful station where lights twinkle, mice dance and Mog gets up to all sorts. Parts of the story are voiced at each station of the trail.
Here are 16 photos from our visit where we tried our hand at Mog’s Christmas Trail:
1. Welcome
The second station is just outside John Lewis on the ground floor and greets visitors taking part in the trail.
2. Walking Tree
At the fourth station: "Suddenly she woke up. She saw something. It was a tree. It was a walking tree."
3. Up to the roof
At the fifth station, "Mog thought, "Trees don't walk." And she ran right up to the roof."
4. Trail map
There are 12 stamp stations in total across The Mall.
