Coca-Cola staff handed out samples of drinks while a band played carol music and a snow machine showered visitors in articifical snowflakes.
And the giant red lorry, whose appearance on our television screens for some heralds the start of the festive season, was the star of the show.

Decked out with thousands of lights and a giant picture of Santa Claus, the lorry offered colour and brightness to the cold December afternoon as it stayed at the car park from noon until 8pm.
The Coca-Cola Christmas trucks first appeared on screens in November
1995 and since then have been a regular feature on televisions
throughout the festive season.
Tim and Nina Adams, from Charlton Kings, were visiting the city centre with their children Jane, seven and Stephen, four.
Mr Adams said: "We love the truck. It's an iconic part of the modern Christmas - yes it's a bit commercial but the red and white colouring are a massive part of what Christmas is about now.
"The lorry itself is quite impressive and there are a lot of people here having a good time, so it's nice to be here and share in the festive cheer with everybody."

“Paid,Geraint?
Not on your nelu... ;-)
Bethlehem is only just over 90 miles down the A40 Westbound.(Ask for directions when you get to Llandeilo).
No red truck can match that.
As for the arrows: Water off a Dragon's back!
As for the Germans: Nadolig Llawen to all of 'em.”

“It should be called the Obesity Truck - 16oz of coca cola contains 16 teaspoons of sugar and has no more nutritional value than water. Soft drinks are a major contributor to the obesity epidemic.”

“Diolch,Geraint.
Never forget that to be born Welsh is to be born privileged.
Not with a silver spoon in your mouth but with music in your blood and poetry in your soul. ;-)”

“Remember this from Simon and Garfunkel?
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence”

“"Thousands of families .." I don't think so. It's not part of Christmas. It's a marketing exercise to promote soft drinks.”
