Lucy Grice, Trinity Walk Marketing Manager, said: "Despite the chilly and wet weather, we estimate just under 2,000 people turned out and the feedback we've had already has been brilliant.

"It's about inviting people down for a fun, free time together as family and friends and we're so pleased we've achieved that again this year."

The big event for 2019 also launched the start of free parking at Trinity Walk after 3pm every Thursday until Christmas, as well as late night opening, which will see many stores open their doors until 8pm on Thursdays.

Trinity Walk’s free Santa’s grotto will also launch every Saturday, Sunday and Thursday starting from November 16.
