BOLTON town centre's Victoria Square will have the only guaranteed "snow fall" in the country thanks to a Christmas Cube Tube Snow Slide.

The giant snow slide -- a Bolton Town Centre Company event sponsored by Cube3Media, The Big W and Tower FM -- is launched today at 10am with the cast of The Albert Halls' Aladdin and the Octagon's Snow Queen.

The festivities continue tomorrow with The Mayor's Charity Day in and around the snow slide and the launch of the Snow Queen, including a spectacular balloon release.

The first 300 people down the snow slide will also receive a Greggs Bakery goody bag.

The snow slide will be open from 10am until 7pm every day throughout the Christmas period and costs £2 for three slides.
