Visit Eden this winter and you’ll find a sparkling, bustling hive of activity. We’ve arranged festive events, longer opening hours and beautiful decorations to bring warmth and light to those long, dark evenings.

Our programme of events is designed to put the festive back into the Christmas season, switching the focus from shopping and spending to creating and sharing. Come to Eden to have a good time with people you know and love – and connect with those you haven’t yet met…
