Read on to find out more about how to embrace the festive season at Buchanan Galleries, from festive food and our longer shopping hours to gorgeous gifting and our very exciting Santa's Grotto...
That's right, the big man himself is coming to Buchanan Galleries this festive season for a festive meet and greet!
Come and meet Santa in his Grotto, where your little ones can share their Christmas wishes as well as get a fun photo that they can keep and treasure. Each child who visits will also receive a free, age-appropriate gift to take home - your little ones will absolutely love it!
There's no need to book - simply turn up with your little ones and enjoy a fun festive outing with the whole family!
We're here to help make your Christmas shopping as easy as possible. That's why we're extending our opening hours this festive season from 7th December. The centre will be open from 9am – 7pm on Monday to Saturday, and 10am – 6pm Sundays from 7th December to 23rd December.
For those last-minute gift shoppers, we will also be open from 9am to 5pm on Christmas Eve, while Boxing Day shoppers can browse bargains from 10am – 6pm on 26th December too. On Black Friday (29th November) and Saturday 30th November, visitors to Buchanan Galleries can also enjoy extended shopping hours of 9am – 7pm.
As usual, brand hours will vary during this period, so we recommend getting in touch with any brands directly ahead of your visit to check opening times!
We know buying everyone you love the perfect gift can feel challenging, especially when you're trying to keep costs down. Throw in the Christmas Day food shop and it can feel overwhelming! That's why we've put together a comprehensive Gift Guide to try and help make your gift buying experience as smooth - and enjoyable! - as possible.
Whether you're buying the perfect pressie for your significant other, showing your parents you care with something special or treating your bestie to a gift that's as great as they are, we've got tonnes of fab gifting inspo. At Buchanan Galleries you'll find something amazing for everybody you love!
Nothing says 'thinking of you' like a perfectly wrapped gift! Show them you care by going the extra mile and getting your gift beautifully wrapped at one of our Wrapping Stations, in front of the flower wall in the main atrium.
The Gift Wrap Stations will be at Buchanan Galleries from Friday 13th to Tuesday 24th December and it's easy to get involved – simply donate an amount of your choosing (suggested donation is £3, but give what you can) and your kindness will help Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity fund their incredible work. Win win!
