Elves roam around the centre on Saturday 6, Saturday 13, Sunday 14, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 December 2025, where they'll be collecting Christmas wishes and entertaining families – plus there'll be games with prizes to be won, including a giant coin toss.
There's a free family trail around the centre from Saturday 6 December until Christmas, with a chocolate treat for children who complete the trail.
And little ones can write their letters to Father Christmas at Cotswolds Designer Outlet's writing hut, before popping them into one of its festive green post boxes to be whisked off to the North Pole.
