We’ve scouted some of the best places to spend the silly season, where you’ll have a great time while getting the best bang for your buck.
Read on and let the good times roll.
Kareela Village
Night Markets
Picture this. As fairy lights twinkle and carollers sing above you, you casually browse the shops and new pop-up stalls, pause for a yummy bite to eat, take your own free photo with Santa on a beautiful snowy backdrop and then sit by while the kids enjoy free craft activities (from 4pm).
Sounds ideal, doesn’t it? More details below.
Kids’ Activities
Keep an eye on the Kareela Village website for great kids’ Christmas craft workshops that are held throughout the school holidays, their weekend pop-up markets, carollers and more.
Don’t forget you can also have your kids write a letter to Santa and drop it into the special Santa post box located outside of the Grocer and Santa and his special helpers will send one back.

When: Night Markets- 10th and 17th December. Kids’ Activities – TBA.
