Highlights include interactive features like Disco Wonderland with vibrant colours and playful commands at Nutcracker Salute, alongside nostalgic nods such as Lava Lamp Lane and Christmas Catalogue.

Emma St. Croix from From the Fields shared: “We wanted to create an experience that felt like opening a much-loved toy box with installations such as the Christmas catalogue, designed with young patients from the Great North Children’s Hospital.”
