Derek Rusk, Shopping Centre Manager stated, “The Christmas season is a special time for us at Manor West and we are delighted that our Food & Craft Fair gives local craftspeople and producers a stage to sell their fantastic products. We have three fair days during the festive season and we hope that everybody comes along and enjoys them, they really create such a cheerful atmosphere on the shopping mall. There is always a fabulous range of products and great gift ideas for that special someone.”

The additional Food & Craft Fairs will take place on Saturday December 9th and Sunday December 10th, making Manor West your one stop for shopping this Christmas. Children will be able to visit Santa and his friends for free every Saturday and Sunday from 12-6pm, right up to Saturday, December 23rd.

Manor West will also have manned car parking areas over the festive period as well as extra parking opened daily behind Debenhams during peak traffic times.  All the parking as always is free of charge, so one less drain on the pocket.
