Trinity Leeds unwraps a spectacular Christmas line-up
Trinity Leeds is getting ready to make Christmas bigger and brighter than ever, with a packed programme of festive experiences, family fun, live entertainment, as well as a new restaurant and bar.
At the heart of the centre’s Christmas celebrations will be the return of its impressive 12-meter Christmas tree. With nearly 100 bespoke light tubes and dazzling star topper, the tree will take its prime place beneath Trinity Leeds’ main atrium.
To kick start the festivities, The Christmas House will be officially openings its doors on Thursday 12th November, bringing a slice of New York to the heart of the city.
Running until New Year’s Day, the festive pop-up restaurant and bar takes inspiration from New York’s famous Christmas venues, with twinkling lights, decorated trees, red velvet booths and cosy candlelit tables.
During the day, The Christmas House will offer the perfect festive stop for families and shoppers, with gingerbread making, letters to Santa and magical photo opportunities. Visitors can also enjoy lunch, coffee, cakes and seasonal drinks, with a handy present-wrapping service also available.

As evening falls, the venue will transform into a lively festive destination, serving seasonal dishes and Christmas cocktails alongside live entertainment. It will also offer the perfect setting for office Christmas parties and group celebrations, with reserved areas available to book.
Returning to Trinity Leeds on Saturday 14th November, Trinity Leeds’ Win Your Wishmas event is set to bring a day packed with live entertainment, musical moments, giveaways and showstopping performances – including the chance for visitors to win their full Christmas shopping wish list.
From 12pm to 5pm, guests will have the chance to take part in a ‘Win Your Christmas Shopping’ giveaway, taking place on the hour, every hour, from 12pm to 5pm – with one lucky shopper scooping a Trinity Leeds gift card worth £1,000.
From 27th November, families can step into a world of festive wonder with the free Mr. Men Little Miss Christmas Trail. Children are invited to explore Trinity Leeds, follow clues and hunt for their favourite Mr. Men Little Miss characters – with a little prize waiting for them at the finish line.
On Saturday 6th December, Trinity Leeds will become the starting point for one of the city’s most joyful festive spectacles as the Trinity Leeds Santa Dash comes to town. Organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, the Leeds Santa Dash 5K will see thousands of Santas take to the streets in support of good causes.
Participants can run, jog or walk the route and enjoy the event at their own pace. With Christmas costumes and plenty of festive cheer, the event promises to bring a sea of Santa suits to the streets of Leeds
To wrap things up, for guests looking for a helping hand with their Christmas shopping, a gift-wrapping service will be available at Trinity Leeds’ Guest Services from 12 to 24 December.
Steve Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “Christmas is always a magical time, and this year we’re bringing even more festive excitement to the city. With new experiences, spectacular giveaways and plenty of ways for people to celebrate together, we want to make Trinity Leeds more than just a place to shop. It’s a destination where our guests can make memories, stock up on the Christmas spirit, and enjoy the run-up to the big day.”
