A popular entertainment venue is set to welcome the festive season in style.

XSite Braehead has announced the launch of its Christmas Cottage which opened on Tuesday.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the walk-through experience which is located near Pizza Express.

The main feature of the cottage is Santa's throne and a 'cosy' fireplace, providing a 'perfect opportunity' for some festive family photos.

Free activities have also been organised at the centre to help spread some festive cheer.

These include an Elf School, which will take place on December 14 and 15 and December 21 and 22.

From 12pm until 4pm, kids can take part in various activities including Christmas crafts, colouring, and can even make their own reindeer food to take home.

Some friendly elves will also be on hand to help them with festive temporary tattoos.

As well as this, there will be a sleigh on site which will hand out some surprise gifts to a few lucky visitors.

Bruce Harley, centre manager at XSite, said: "We’re thrilled to bring the holiday magic to XSite with our Christmas Cottage and free family activities.

"Helping local families to celebrate the build-up to Christmas is really important to us and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to get into the Christmas spirit with us."
