Families visiting The Rock Shopping Centre this Christmas will have their trip turned upside down thanks to the destination’s free, fun, festive installation.

This weekend a giant Christmas present was unveiled at The Rock – a present with a difference.

Inside the present is an upside down candy cane playroom, featuring gingerbread men, candy canes, lollipops, teddy bears and more but the twist is, it’s all upside down.

The present will be open every day for shoppers to take a look around and take some festive snaps with a difference.

Families are encouraged to visit and take the most fun festive photos for social media with fancy dress encouraged throughout.

The best photo submission will win a bumper prize hamper made up of gifts donated by The Rock’s retailers, just in time for Christmas.

Plus, on Saturdays in December, the Jolly Candy Follies will be on hand for photos within the present and families can take part in a festive window trail around the centre, with returned entries receiving sweet treats.

Located in the space in front of The Range, the Topsy Turvy Gift will be open daily throughout December with the competition running on Facebook until Monday 18^th December.

Arnold Wilcox-Wood, Centre Director of The Rock, said: “We wanted to do something completely different this Christmas and we’re so thrilled to unveil our Topsy Turvy Gift. So many people have already posed for photos and we can’t wait to go through all the competition entries. The prize hamper is filled with wonderful gifts from retailers including M&S, The Entertainer, The Perfume Shop, Kaspa’s Desserts, Skechers, Bob & Berts, Starbucks, Pandora and more.”
