What’s on around town this week?

‘Tis the season to get out and about in Sunraysia! Here’s a merry round up of all the Christmas fun happening in town this week.

Head down to the City Heart this week to visit Santa at his Gingerbread Workshop! He’ll be ready to hear your Christmas wishes every week day this week from 10am to 12pm and 2:30pm to 4:30pm, and Saturday 10am to 1pm. Make sure to say hello to Mrs Claus, the Reindeer, and a few of Santa’s elves. Check out the City Heart website for more information.

The Road To Bethlehem is back at Henderson College this week, with the walk through theatrical production on Tuesday to Thursday this week from 6:30pm to 10pm. Check out the community markets and food stalls, while experiencing the story of the first Christmas. The event is free, but make sure to book!

The Benetook Farms Christmas Market is on this Saturday, with loads of fun to be had for the whole family. Wander through the General Store and pick up some local goodies for Christmas from the market stalls, don’t forget to grab a yummy snag! All your favourite things to do at the Farm are still on offer, like feeding the animals, picking strawberries, and running through the maze.

Finish up your Saturday by heading down to the Mildura Carols By Candlelight at Nowingi Place. Brush up on your favourite Christmas carols, bring your dinner and your family, and get ready for a night of fun! Every donation goes towards supporting Southern Cross Kids Camp Mildura.
