Every donation made during the event will aid the Quarriers health and social care charity in supporting children and adults throughout Scotland.

A highlight this year is the addition of The Ukes, a ukulele band that will deliver a one-off performance at Braehead Shopping Centre on Friday, December 8, at 12.15pm.
