THOSE with a head for heights could find themselves winning big as Cheshire Oaks kick off their festive season with a Christmas tree climbing competition on November 3.

The designer outlet in Ellesmere Port is looking for a member of the public to go up to the top of the tallest Christmas tree in Northern England as part of the winter festivities being hosted at the centre this season.

Created in partnership with Springfield Decorations, the tree will stand at over 100ft tall, making it the second tallest tree in the UK. The giant decoration will be adorned with more than 5 miles of fairy lights, 100,000 baubles (including 1,000 football-sized red baubles) and over 20,000 red bulbs.

The momentous occasion will be captured by a professional photographer who will immortalise the once-in-a-lifetime experience. In addition, the lucky winner will also be the recipient of a £1,000 gift voucher to be used at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet for an unforgettable Christmas shopping experience on the house.

General Manager at McArthurGlen Cheshire Oaks, Kenny Murray said: "We are thrilled to kick off our 2022 winter festivities this year with a competition offering one lucky member of our local community the opportunity of a lifetime. With the Cheshire Oaks Christmas tree set to be the tallest of its kind across the region, there is no better way to get into the festive spirit than by going all the way up to the top and admiring the stunning view of our Christmas Village. We hope the added bonus of the £1,000 McArthurGlen Gift Card, which can be used to shop for Christmas gifts for loved ones of all ages and interests, will help make this experience a truly memorable one for our winner."

In addition to the Christmas tree, Cheshire Oaks will also be hosting a wide range of exciting activities throughout the festive season. A few highlights include;

• Bookable winter huts for cosy, festive get-togethers

• Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet’s iconic Winter Village, opening October 24, where guests can indulge in tasty festive treats, mulled wine, delicious hot chocolates and traditional foods from an alpine-inspired German market
