About

White Rose Shopping Centre is Leeds’ flagship retail destination, offering an unrivaled mix of 120+ high‑street stores, restaurants and entertainment venues, including an 11‑screen Cineworld with IMAX and ScreenX. During the holiday season, the site transforms into a winter wonderland featuring an undercover ice skating rink, Santa’s Grotto on a vintage train carriage, a festive ice‑rink themed with Taylor Swift and K‑Pop music, and seasonal shopping events. Visitors can enjoy free parking, a concierge‑style Guest Services team, and a rewards programme (PLUS+) that unlocks exclusive discounts across many shops. The centre’s strategic location with ample public transport links and dedicated parking makes it convenient for families, couples, and solo shoppers alike. From mid‑November to early January the ice rink opens pre‑bookable 45‑minute sessions, parent and toddler sessions, and silent skating, while the Santa’s Grotto welcomes up to four children per booking for £6.50 each (plus a £1.50 booking fee per family). The Cineworld screen offers blockbuster releases such as "Avengers: Endgame" and "The Lion King".
