A giant toboggan slide has arrived at the Trafford Centre as part of its huge Tinsel Town event.
At 37 metres long and billed as 'the UK's largest transportable toboggan ride', it's just one of the 'winter wonderland of rides' that have opened outside The Orient.
The event follows the success of the venue's Summer Social and Spookfest events and is running from now until January 3.
As well as the fairground, there's lots more fun to enjoy at the site too, including a 600-square metre covered ice rink and Gandeys Snowstorm - 'a sensational ice-skating show' performed live inside a heated Big Top.
There's also the chance to visit Father Christmas inside his twinkling tipi and take a ride on the big wheel.
