Young and old will discover an enchanted Christmas at Settlement City this December, with loads of exciting things to see and do.

Shoppers can enjoy the magic of gifting, make a memory with Santa and enjoy all of the festive sights and sounds.

The team of Santas Helpers at Settlement City are excited to unveil the Christmas Forest Retreat this year, a unique Cottage experience for youngsters.

Santa is waiting to hear all about that all-important wish-list this Christmas before the moment is captured forever with the traditional Christmas photo.

Every child will also receive a free gift with their Santa photo at Settlement City, bringing all the magic of Christmas morning early.

“The Santa experience is filled with animation and lights and more interaction than ever before, and Santa can’t wait to talk wish lists and have a photo with the kids,” says manager Brett Varcoe.

There are over 60 different retailers offering everything you need this Christmas, from Christmas hampers, Berry Wreath or even some mistletoe to all your gifting and entertaining needs. Settlement City welcomes over 3 million customers every year to enjoy restaurants, retailers, complimentary WiFi, supermarkets and more.

This December 15, there is also a DIY Xmas Decoration Workshop along with free face painting for the kids to make this season a truly entertaining one.

Gift wrapping has never been so rewarding. From 10 December until 22 December you can get your pressies lovingly wrapped for just a gold coin donation to The Salvation Army. The happy wrapping crew will be set up just outside Big W. 

The Salvation Army aims to give hope wherever there is hardship or injustice nationally; each gold coin donation will assist the charity in helping families in need this Christmas. 

Settlement City also hosted Sensory Santa Sessions this year for children with specific needs to come along and meet Santa. The sessions were a great success, allowing kids of all kinds to enjoy the festivities.

“We are bringing ‘red carpet’ experiences back to our customers this Christmas. Whether you are looking for the perfect gift, stocking up on festive food and decorations or simply wanting to enjoy a little bit of Christmas joy – you’ll find everything you need for an enchanted Christmas at Settlement City,” says Brett.
