Paisley’s Christmas

About Paisley’s Christmas

Get ready to jingle all the way because Renfrewshire Council and Scotland’s Theme Park have joined forces to bring you Paisley’s Christmas.

Paisley’s Christmas will run from Thursday 28th November to Saturday 28th December (excluding Christmas and Boxing Days). Highlights include:

Paisley’s Ice Rink
Paisley Cross
Selected dates and times from Thursday 28th of November to Saturday 28th of December
As part of the festive celebrations in Paisley Town Centre this year we are excited to welcome back the spectacular under cover outdoor Ice Rink complete with themed Bavarian bar. The perfect family festive day out.

The Ice Rink will be open selected dates and times from 28th of November up to and including 28th of December.

ASN sessions: These sessions provide extra support for individuals with sensory needs, along with their families and caregivers, so they can have a wonderful time in a calm and enjoyable atmosphere. In these sessions, we limit the number of people on the ice, and the music is either turned off or played at a very low volume.
