Gloucester Quays is pulling out all the stops this Christmas, offering everything from gorgeous gifts to delicious dining and magical open air skating.

The Quays are the place to celebrate in style and give more for less.

As well as outlet shopping, the historic docks are the backdrop for Festive Orchard Street Food and Craft Markets and a magical ice skating rink.

Every weekend from November 6 until Christmas, over 70 stalls, local makers, bakers and artisans, will tempt visitors with a seasonal pick of festive food and drink, art and design, plus vintage and modern crafts. This inspiring selection makes the popular Orchard Street Markets an unmissable opportunity to take home tasty treats and bespoke handmade gifts.

Plus, up to January 2, the whole family can get their skates on and glide round an impressive open air ice rink in Orchard Square.

As for the shops, the Christmas playlist is ready to go, the decorations are up, and at over 50 top brand outlet stores like Ted Baker, Calvin Klein, Joules, Radley London, Levi's, Crew Clothing Company, All Saints, Adidas, Jack Wills and Dune London, the shelves are full of stylish fashion and irresistible gifts at up to 70% off the RRP.

At this hectic time, everyone appreciates extra hours to browse and find just what they are looking for. Which makes late night shopping until 8pm weekdays another great reason to visit. And, for those extra choosy people on the Christmas gift list, a Gloucester Quays Gift Card is the perfect present.

For season's eatings, the Quay's welcoming waterside bars and restaurants are open until late.

So, whether it's a warming hot chocolate to celebrating - shoppers, diners and party people are spoilt for choice at buzzing venues like Bills, Brewhouse & Kitchen, Côte Brasserie, Portivo Lounge and Coal Grill & Bar.

The finishing touch to a great day at Gloucester Quays is catching a movie at Cineworld, which will be screening the latest heart-warming family favourites and action-packed blockbusters.

And, of course, everyone at the Quays is pulling out all the stops, so that visitors can enjoy the festivities knowing that their Christmas is in safe hands.

That's why the sentiment for the season is - The Quay to a wonderful Christmas.
