Leading Scottish retail and leisure destination, Silverburn, has announced a full line-up of festive fun for visitors to enjoy while completing their Christmas shopping this year.
The celebrations have already kicked off with viral sensation buskers Simon Sims and Gary Lynas taking to Silverburn’s very own ‘Busk Stop’ to raise the spirits of passers-by with a good singsong. This is only the beginning of the impressive roster of performers who will be busking within Silverburn throughout the festive period. A proportion of busker's earnings throughout the month of November will kindly be donated by performers to Silverburn Cares, Silverburn’s community fund.
Entertainment continues into December with roaming performers including rambunctious reindeer, Jack Frost and his frolicking Snow Fairies will join the ranks of traditional brass bands and choirs as the centre prepares to provide plenty of festive cheer to all passing through. Face painters and balloon animal artists will also be in attendance throughout the month of December, free of charge.
A very special guest, Santa Claus, will be taking residence at Silverburn from the 1st to the 24th of December. Children can reveal their Christmas lists and wishes before Santa takes the reins of his sleigh for his busiest night of the year. The meet and greet with photo opportunities is free for families with a suggested £3 donation to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
Community and giving back will remain a key focus of the centre this Christmas, with a gift-wrapping station throughout December, and a giving tree where shoppers can donate a present to a local child, all in aid of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
David Pierotti, General Manager of Silverburn said: “At Silverburn, we want to give our visitors reasons to be cheerful. Whether that be meeting with Santa Claus himself or enjoying one of our talented musical acts or performers while they shop.
“After the events of the last few years, everyone deserves an opportunity to celebrate what we do have - family, friends, and a strong and supportive community. We are more than a shopping centre; we are a destination for the community to come together and feel festive at this time of year and we look forward to spreading joy to our visitors over the winter months.”

Additionally, musicians can apply for a ‘Busk Stop’ spot by sharing a video or social media channel link via email to enquiries@silverburn.com. The Busk Stop will be temporarily closing at the end of November, returning to Silverburn in January 2023.
