The Christmas House has opened at Trinity Leeds, transforming part of the shopping centre into a Christmas-themed venue packed with twinkling lights, decorated trees, red velvet booths and candlelit tables.
Inspired by New York's famous Christmas settings, the venue promises something for families during the day, with gingerbread-making sessions, letters to Santa, festive brunches and even a present-wrapping service. As evening falls, the atmosphere changes, with festive food, Christmas cocktails and live entertainment on offer.
Running until New Year's Day, the venue is one of the centrepieces of Trinity Leeds' Christmas programme.
We were invited in for a first look ahead of today’s opening:
