Glasgow Fort Golden Chocolate Challenge

To celebrate the release of the hotly anticipated Wonka film this month, Glasgow Fort is hosting a sweet-themed competition giving visitors the chance to win £200 to spend at the centre.

Taking place on Saturday 9th and 16th December, shoppers will be tasked with taking on the Golden Chocolate Challenge by finding a Golden Gobstopper in a giant ball pool to pick up the prize. The competition is free to enter, and everyone who takes part will be gifted a chocolate bar whether they win or lose.

Visitors will also have the chance to grab a selfie with ‘The Chief Chocolatier’ and his assistant Lollipop before finishing any Christmas shopping.

Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: “Wonka is one of the biggest releases of the year and we wanted to mark it with a bit of fun for all the family.

"For those planning a festive day out at the centre, there’s also a whole host of additional activities to enjoy. Our Christmas markets and funfair rides are open throughout December and our selection of restaurants are offering some great limited-edition festive menus." 

The new Wonka film starring Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant launches on Friday 8th December and is available to watch at Glasgow Fort’s Vue cinema, with tickets from £4.99 if purchased online in advance.

Glasgow Fort will also be supporting YoMo (Young Movers) – a charity working to empower young people across north-east and north-west Glasgow – this Christmas, and donations can be made via its Giving Box situated next to the markets and opposite Argos. 

Glasgow Fort is open 10am – 10pm on weekdays, 9am – 7pm on Saturdays and 10am – 6pm on Sundays.
