ONE of the region's most popular annual shopping events is to take place later this month in a new format.
Every year, Newcastle's Eldon Square shopping complex opens especially for older and disabled people and their carers.
The event is designed to allow those with limited mobility to do their Christmas shopping without having to contend with the hustle and bustle generated by thousands of visitors.
The event normally takes place on a weekday evening, but this year it has been switched to Sunday, November 21, when volunteer helpers will be on hand, from 11am to 5pm.
During the event there will be festive entertainment and celebrity guests.
