Tickets for Bolton’s magical winter wonderland will be available from Monday, October 27.
The council announced last month that it was bringing a host of attractions to the town to attract shoppers and boost town centre trade over the festive period.
New this year is a giant fifty metre snow slide, which will go on Newport Street. The slide will join a giant 100 foot Ferris wheel and 255 square metre ice rink on Victoria Square, and a Santa’s grotto on Oxford Street.
