THE Brunel Shopping Centre has opened a Snow Zone with a giant train and Nutcracker statues.

The seasonal sight has been set up in the Plaza and will be open until Christmas Eve, with special guests like a Giant Christmas Yeti stopping by to greet shoppers.

The yeti arrived on the activity area's opening day last Saturday and will be returning with friends later this month.

All the details of the special Christmas Creatures, like when they will be at The Brunel and the times of their performances, can be found by visiting the shopping centre's website www.thebrunel.co.uk or its Facebook page.

A spokesperson for FI Real Estate at The Brunel Shopping Centre Swindon said: “We’re really excited to be opening our Christmas Snow Zone at The Brunel this year.

"After families and friends were separated for Christmas last year, we’re so pleased to be able to play a role in bringing people together to experience some festive fun.

"We hope our visitors love the Snow Zone as much as we do!”
