What can you expect?

Expect a giant Christmas tree, the chance to meet Santa Claus and snap a photograph, plus plenty of family-friendly activities and entertainment.

For little ones, there will be games they can enjoy, plus bouncy castles where they can unleash their energy. For those who love to get creative, there will be gingerbread house building and face painting.

If you do need a pit stop to fuel up, there will be food and beverage stands with yum options for the full family.
