Kevin Lockwood, The Darwin Centre manager, said:
“We look forward to welcoming people of all ages to The Darwin during this year’s festive period.
“The Centre has something for everyone this Christmas, whether you’re shopping, eating, drinking, or looking for that ideal gift.
“And this year Santa and our other festive friends The Grinch impersonator and Cindy Lou, and friendly Polaris the Polar Bear, will once again be roaming around the Centre at various times – the Grinch is a bit cheeky and has been known to cause mischief around the Centre!
”So feel free to stop by with the family, say hello and have a bit of fun while you are here.”
Over the festive period The Darwin’s regular Christmas charity Polar Bear display will once again be located on the lower level next to the Amazon lockers, supporting Shrewsbury Town FC Foundation.
