The Christmas countdown is officially on and there’s plenty happening in Newmarket over the coming weeks to help with your Christmas shopping and get you into the festive spirit.
Santa and his helpers are roaming the streets of Newmarket across weekends in November and December taking photos and handing out lollies for the little ones. See if you can spot him on his travels! Santa will also be at the Rialto Centre each Saturday and Sunday in December between 1:30pm-2:30pm.
Christmas wouldn’t be complete without the yearly picture with Santa and Westfield Newmarket is here to help, with photos with Santa happening daily. To book a session and find out more, click here. You can even bring your four-legged friends to get in on the action with their very own picture with Mr Claus. Find out more here.
Leave the gift wrapping to those who do it best by having your Christmas presents wrapped when you shop at Westfield Newmarket and from the 10th of December between 11am-4pm at the Rialto Centre.
The Newmarket Christmas tree is also back on Lumsden Green, on the corner of Broadway and Khyber Pass, alongside Santa’s mailbox, so the kids can write their letters to Santa. You’ll also find our giant LED Christmas gift boxes dotted around the precinct – look high and low to see how many you can find!
Enjoy live music in Rialto Centre from the 18th December to 24th December, 11am - 1pm daily. Featuring The Trumpet Guy, Sounds of Shore, Silver and Strings and Jazz Santas.
