The Exchange is Nottingham’s oldest shopping arcade, with its magnificent Grade II* listed buildings a spectacular sight at any time of year. This is doubly true at Christmas, when the centre is justifiably renowned for its beautiful Christmas decorations which look truly splendid in the centre’s rich Edwardian setting.
This year we have a brand new scheme for the arcade which goes up on Saturday 21st November - also the day of our popular Christmas Lights Event.
Visit the centre from 11.00am on the day and, as well as being amongst the first to see the new decorations, you’ll also be able to enjoy fabulous live entertainment and music including:
Incredible close-up Street Magic from the wizardly Roy Bond, who promises some jaw-dropping tricks and amazing sleight of hand. There’ll be a feast of festive music for the renowned Thoresby Colliery Band and the Beorma Singers to really get you in the Christmas spirit, and children will particularly enjoy the wonderful balloon creations & face painting. There’ll also be giveaways and sweet treats - so be sure to arrive early!
What’s more, you can also enter one or both of our fabulous prize draws for free.
When you purchase anything from any of the centre’s stores you’ll be given an Exchange Club Card. Simply fill this in and put in the box provided and you’ll be entered into the draws to win one of five prizes of £200 each in Exchange Shopping Vouchers or a fabulous Radley bag!
The vouchers are redeemable in all the centre’s stores and are the perfect thing for Christmas shopping, to give as a gift or even for a little self-indulgence.
The Christmas Lights Event runs all day from 11.00am on Saturday 21st November.
