From 6pm | FREE ENTRY
Step into the magic as we officially open our Winter Wonderland season with an evening of festive cheer and community spirit!
Join us in our Secret Garden from 6.30pm for a magnificent outdoor sing-along performance from the incredible Handbag of Harmonies, who’ll be filling the air with jolly carols and Christmas classics to get everyone in the spirit. Afterwards, the celebrations continue with a DJ set from Jae Holmes & Darren Donnoley that will keep the good vibes going well into the evening.
There’ll be complimentary mince pies for all, along with mulled wine and hot chocolate to keep you cosy under the twinkling lights.
It’s also the launch of our festive food menu, with our restaurant open for dining and a special VIP space for diners in the garden — the perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere.
This is a community celebration, and absolutely everyone is welcome — so gather your friends, wrap up warm, and join us as the wonder begins!
