What Is The Win Your Wishmas Festive Celebration At Trinity Leeds This Christmas?

Let's face it, getting the Christmas shopping done can feel like a marathon. Ticking off lists, navigating crowds, and trying to find that perfect gift. But what if the whole experience was less of a chore and more of a massive party? Well, Trinity Leeds is planning exactly that with its biggest festive celebration yet. It’s called Win Your Wishmas, a huge one-day event packed with live entertainment, brilliant surprises, and the incredible chance to win the cash for your entire Christmas shopping. It’s all happening on Saturday, 6th December, and it’s set to bring a whole lot of joy to the city.

A day packed with festive fun

So, what’s the plan? On Saturday, 6th December, from 12pm to 5pm, Trinity Leeds will transform into a hub of festive fun. This isn't just about sticking on a few Christmas tunes and hoping for the best. This is a full-blown celebration designed to get everyone buzzing with Christmas spirit. The whole day is a live programme of events designed to make the annual shopping trip something to look forward to. The aim is to create a day filled with real Christmas cheer and a sense of community.

Visitors can expect a schedule jam-packed with performances and unexpected moments. The centre is going all out to ensure this festive celebration is memorable. Imagine wandering through the shops and suddenly being part of something truly magical. The entertainment programme includes:

• A surprise flash mob, appearing out of nowhere with amazing dance moves and plenty of sparkle.
• The arrival of Santa, but not in the usual way. He’s showing up with a team of reindeer performers in a fantastic parade filled with music and theatre.
• A glamorous, larger-than-life sequinned dame bringing big laughs and plenty of charm to the party.
• A DJ, 'Mother of Xmas', who will be playing all the best feel-good festive tracks to keep the energy high.

How do you win your Christmas shopping?

This is the really exciting bit. The main event of the Win Your Wishmas celebration is the giveaway. On the hour, every hour between 12pm and 5pm, one shopper will get their Christmas shopping wish granted. The whole thing is powered by a 'Christmas Spirit-O'Meter' which, as you can probably guess, measures the amount of joy and excitement in the centre.

As shoppers enjoy all the festive fun, the meter will be quietly filling up. When it hits the top, a Christmas button will light up, and one lucky person outside The Apple Store will win a huge cash prize, starting at a whopping £500. Imagine getting all your presents sorted and then winning the money to pay for it all. That’s a pretty good day out! For anyone wanting to boost their chances, there will also be QR codes dotted around the centre. A quick scan could lead to an instant £500 win, adding another layer of surprises to the day’s entertainment. This festive event is all about spreading joy.

More than just a shopping centre

Trinity Leeds, which recently marked its 10th anniversary, has always been a key part of the Leeds community. It's not just a place for shopping; it’s where people meet up, grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants, or have a drink at the bars. It’s a space for the community to come together. The company behind it, Landsec, focuses on creating places that bring people joy, and this event is a perfect example of that. This Christmas, they are really leaning into that spirit.

Steven Foster, the Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, is clearly thrilled about the upcoming festive celebration.

“It’s hard to put into words just how incredible Christmas is going to be at Trinity Leeds this year – the list of surprises, entertainment and giveaways is endless, and we can’t wait to get the people of Leeds swept up in the excitement of the festive season.”

“This is our biggest festive celebration yet. We wanted to spread the joy of giving and create a day filled with fun, surprises, and the true spirit of Christmas. Whether you come to shop, dance, or simply soak up the atmosphere, you could walk away with your Christmas shopping wish come true.”

So, if the thought of Christmas shopping feels a bit much, maybe a trip to Trinity Leeds on the 6th of December is the answer. It’s a chance to get everything done while being part of a fantastic live event filled with festive cheer and the possibility of a massive win. It’s the perfect way to kick off the Christmas season.
