Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: “As one of the biggest shopping and leisure destinations in Scotland, we welcome people from across the country over the festive period. It really is a magical time of year and we think everything we have planned will really bring the essence of Christmas to life.

“There’ll be a great atmosphere here over the coming weeks as families enjoy quality time together, whether that’s spent shopping, dining, watching a festive film or coming simply to see our Christmas spectacular.”

Glasgow Fort’s Christmas opening hours run from December 17 to 23, with the centre open from 9am – midnight every day.
