| Shop and ski by the sea at Christmas?
A DRY ski slope in the heart of Weston could soon be the Christmas attraction which draws thousands of shoppers to the town centre over the festive season.Plans are taking shape to make the town one of the most unique places to experience Christmas in the region, with a ski slope on the Town Square off the High Street heading the list of attractions.Eventually, the Weston Town Centre Partnership, which is behind the project, would like to see the slope complemented by an ice-rink on Big Lamp Corner and possibly even a toboggan run during the Christmas season.The partnership is keen to make Weston stand out during the profitable run-up to Christmas and attract people into the town who might normally shop in other towns and cities in the South West.Its aims for this year include installing Christmas lights in Dolphin Square, St James Street and Big Lamp Corner, creating a grotto and children's show, holding themed evenings, introducing a Christmas lights scheme in the Orchard Meadows shopping area and holding a 'best dressed window' competition.Next year it hopes to bring in a dry ski slope for the Town Square and create a 'Winter Wonderland' with children's rides and a grotto.
