Christmas is arriving early at Glasgow Fort as the centre gears up for festivities on November 22.
The seasonal celebrations will feature the return of the popular markets and funfair, along with visits from festive characters.
The Christmas markets will be open from November 22 until December 29, with stalls selling a variety of goods ranging from cheeses to personalised Christmas tree decorations.
Visitors will also be able to indulge at festive food stands that offer Dutch pancakes, Yorkshire pudding wraps, and German Bratwurst sausages.
Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: "The most wonderful time of the year is on the horizon and we’re as excited as ever for this year’s seasonal celebrations, with everything from our popular Christmas markets to appearances from some new faces, including the Magic Wizard who will even bring a classic Christmas brass band.
"We’ve got everything you need for a fun festive day out, and we’re looking forward to welcoming people to the centre for some shopping, a Christmas meal, or perhaps a seasonal blockbuster."
The markets will be accompanied by a funfair, complete with candy cane trampolines, a big wheel, and a helter-skelter.
From November 30, characters from beloved Christmas films such as The Grinch, Elf, and Home Alone will be roaming the centre, offering free meet-and-greets and selfies.
They will make 30 minute appearances at 12pm, 1pm, 2.30pm, and 3.30pm on select dates throughout the festive season.
These are 'The Green Mean One’ on November 30, Elf and Santa on December 7, Magic Wizard and Christmas Brass Band on December 14, as well as The Christmas Bandits on December 21.
