UNLEASH YOUR-ELF THIS CHRISTMAS AT THE HEART SHOPPING CENTRE, WALTON-ON-THAMES

‘Tis officially the season to be jolly, and although we know it’s going to be harder for many families to be indulgent and spoil their loved ones, The Heart Shopping Centre is encouraging people to just unleash them-elves. 

Kickstarting the festive season will be the annual Festival of Light which returns on Saturday, 26th November, following a two-year break due to the pandemic. Throughout the day, families enjoy a host of stalls, activities and rides, as well as the usual light switch-on and parade. 

On Saturday, 17th December, The Heart Kids’ Club will be hosting a very special breakfast with Santa himself. Taking place over two sittings, children can pre-book a spot at the breakfast table to enjoy a selection of pastries, fruit juices and fruits with Santa as he takes a prime spot inside Buenasado Steakhouse.

Spaces for this special event are very limited, so it is recommended that you pre-book your space as soon as possible via The Heart website.

Santa will also be walking around the Centre between 11.30 am and 12.30 pm and posing for your pictures. 

Also taking place on Saturday, 17th December, children aged three and over will be able to enjoy a free festive Glitter Tattoo as our popular glitter tattooist, Clare, returns to the Centre to offer a great range of festive favourites, including Santa, Rudolph, Snowman and more. Booking is not required for this activity, but queues are likely. You will find Clare and her glitter tattoos opposite Sports Direct between 9 am and 2.30 pm. 

Throughout the festive season, The Heart will also be running some fantastic competitions for everyone to enter. 

When visiting the Centre keep an eye out for the floor vinyls, which have been strategically placed near the Christmas tree to ensure you can take the perfect tree selfie. For those of you who are addicted to Instagram, simply take your s-elfie in front of the tree and tag the Centre for your chance to win a £50 voucher.

If TikTok is more your thing, then don’t forget to feature our Christmas tree on your TikTok feed (tagging @theheartshopping) for a chance to win a £100 voucher for any store within The Heart! 

If that wasn’t enough, the Centre is also running another competition across all of its social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok) as they hunt for the perfect name for their resident Reindeer. Simply comment on the competition post on your social channel of choice, and if your name is selected, then you’ll be picking a store within the Centre to spend your £50 prize in! 

The festivities do not stop there, as The Heart has also created a special gift guide to help inspire you all this Christmas. Packed full of gifts for him, her, children, the home and a great selection of gifts under £20, this gift guide is guaranteed to help you find the perfect gifts the Christmas.  The Christmas Gift Guide is available to view on The Heart website via their dedicated “Christmas” page, or you can pick up a hard copy in the Centre from the 1st of December. 

As December approaches, don’t forget that The Heart will also host its monthly markets. Join them on Saturday, 3rd December, between 9 am and 2 pm for their monthly Farmers’ Market. If you’re a fan of vegan food, then pop down to the Centre on Saturday 17th December between 9,30 am and 3.30 pm for their monthly Vegan Market. Both markets will host a great range of stalls and products this month with a fe5stive twist.
