From 28th November to 22nd December, Princesshay will be joined by over 25 local traders as part of the Christmashay Village. Positioned around the centre piece Christmas Tree in Princesshay Square, a rotating programme of local businesses from jewellers and crafts to candles, bakes, art, pottery and soaps will be spreading plenty of festive cheer. Princesshay are also teaming up with Lloyds Lounge to run a Christmas bar in Princesshay Square, serving up warming mulled drinks and freshly fired pizzas for visitors to enjoy during their visit.

Santa Sunday's come to Princesshay through December, and you'll find jolly old Santa spreading festive cheer from his golden sleigh beneath the glass canopy, from 10am to 4:30pm. There's also the opportunity for a photo and meet and greet with Santa for a small charity donation of £2.50, which will go towards ELF (Exeter Leukaemia Fund). Each child that meets Santa will take home a jingle bell to hang on their tree at home.
