Come down to Castle Square on December 19 from 2pm until 5pm to try out a new interactive game called 'Make the Christmas Tree Grow'.
Race your friends to make your Christmas trees grow to full size by catching falling stars and see your tree light up with decorations as it grows. Might make a fun break from all that Christmas shopping!

It will get you into the Christmas spirit, we promise! Buy your Ice Skating tickets in advance and use one of the TWO rinks we have this year - Rocky's Rink for the children and the Admiral Rink for the grown ups.
From there why not experience the magnificent views of Swansea on the Big Wheel, and then head on inside to warm yourself up with a nice glass of mulled wine - adults only of course!
If that doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit, then the Oxford Street Christmas Market starts tomorrow!
Read Victoria Jones' blog on her fun day out at the Waterfront Winterland.
