Businesses taking part in this year’s event are: RedRocks, the Omnia, Esker Gin, Fits the Scoop, AB Wellness & Reflexology, Replenish Chapelton, Lou Sells mini edition, Devenick Drinks Co, and Mr Dun Barber.
Organiser and jewellery maker Claire Notarangelo, who owns RedRocks, said they are hoping to build on the success of last year’s Chapelton Christmas Shopping evening.
She said: “We are expecting a good few hundred people to turn up for the event. It’s a great opportunity to support local businesses, while shopping for a big range of different gifts in a relaxed environment off the high street. It is also an easy to reach location with free parking.
“I have been at The Boxes for the past 14 months and I have been overwhelmed with how supportive the North-east community has been.”
Santa’s Grotto will be open for all younger visitors from 5.30pm until 7.15pm. The Aberdeen Chorus of Sweet Adelines Choir will join Chapelton Community Association and Santa to light up Hume Square with the switching on of the town’s Christmas lights at 6pm.
