Plans for an ice rink as part of a month-long Christmas event in Paisley have been confirmed.
Paisley's Christmas will take over the town from November 30 to December 30 with its street entertainers, Santa's grotto, market stalls, free activities, reindeer visits and more.
Organised by Renfrewshire Council in partnership with Paisley First, we previously reported that the festive event is expected to bring thousands to the town.
Now they have paired with Scotland's Theme Park to organise the programme of events, which includes an outdoor, undercover ice rink in the town centre’s County Square.
Open seven days a week, the ice rink is suitable for all ages and abilities and will be accompanied by a Bavarian-themed bar, Christmas goodies and carnival rides.
Skating sessions are available to book online now at www.paisleyschristmas.co.uk.
As we previously reported, is hoped that Paisley's Christmas will increase footfall in the town centre and boost local businesses.
Paisley First is running a competition for four lucky shoppers to win £1000 of gift vouchers to spend locally.
Louise Mahon, Renfrewshire Council’s head of marketing, communications and events, said: “Every weekend, families will be able to enjoy the carnival, cosy cafes, Christmas movies and Christmas characters and take part in lots of free activities.
“Our free family programme is available to view on www.paisley.is and we have something for everyone to enjoy.”
Colette Cardosi, chair of Paisley First, added: “We can’t wait to bring festive fun for the whole family back to Paisley town centre this Christmas!
“We’ll have entertainment for the kids, a chance for you to get your Christmas shopping sorted and plenty of food and drink venues to help you make the most of festive family get-togethers.
“And don’t forget, Paisley’s Christmas Golden Ticket Competition is back with £1,000 of Paisley town centre gift vouchers up for grabs for four lucky winners!
“Paisley is the only place to be this Christmas!”
