Junction 32, Yorkshire’s leading outlet shopping destination, is pulling into the festive season with its very own Christmas train, and it needs your help to name it!

The centre is inviting shoppers of all ages to get into the festive spirit and share their most magically creative name ideas to help bring the Christmas train to life. Whether you want to name the train after your feline friend, favourite Christmas tune or simply call it Trainy McTrainface, we want to hear your suggestions!

To be in with the chance to see your name on the centre’s Christmas train and win a £150 gift card for Nike, simply send your suggestions to [email protected] by Thursday 13th of November. The winning name will be unveiled at Junction 32 on Friday 21st November, marking the official start of the outlet's Christmas celebrations.

The magical Christmas train will be stationed by M&S, spreading festive cheer every weekend from the 21st November, and daily from 12th to the 24th December, between 10am and 5pm. Serving as Santa’s Post Office, visitors can hop aboard to enjoy the festive fun, from a Christmas writing station, where children can send their wishes to the North Pole, to a jolly craft and crochet workshop.

Located next to Marks & Spencer, shoppers can also soak up the Christmas spirit at the outlet shopping centre with a sparkling selfie station in a magical sleigh, and an enchanting light trail – there's no doubt that Junction 32 will be a joyful experience for the whole family this season.

Marking the beginning of a joyful ride into Christmas, Junction 32’s Christmas train is the first stop for a stress-free festive season. Whether you're hopping aboard for a magical day out, or to kick off your Christmas shopping, the centre offers something for everyone. With unmissable outlet discounts across fashion, gifts, and homeware, a visit to Junction 32 makes for a perfect shopping trip this Christmas.

Darren Winter, Centre Director, commented: “We’re thrilled to launch this year’s festive campaign and invite our local community to help us name our Christmas train.

Whether you're shopping for the perfect gift, dressing up for a Christmas party, or enjoying a day out with the family, we’ve created a magical experience for everyone.
