Christmas begins in Wyndham

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Wyndham.

Christmas activities have kick off next week with something for everyone of all ages running up until 25 December.

Outgoing Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw, whose term ended on 12 November, said they that many of residents love Christmas time and enjoying the fun of the festive season brings.

She said it was a great opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit, bring the family along, grab a bite to eat, tick off some Christmas shopping and enjoy all of the entertainment on offer.

“Werribee City Centre will come to life with a hub of festive fun, where you can snap a photo with the Christmas tree in Station Place and discover a gingerbread land where you can decorate your own gingerbread in Wedge St, Piazza,” she said.

“Christmas Twilight markets will bring Christmas cheer across Wyndham, with the opportunity to love your local and buy unique gifts from local makers and retailers.”

“Browse the stalls with gorgeous gifts and local treasures, enjoy free family activities or grab a bite to eat; it’s the perfect way to spend a Friday evening this summer.

“The Christmas Twilight Markets will be held in three different locations across Wyndham every Friday from 4-8pm across the festive season starting from the 28 November at Mambourin, then Hoppers Junction on 5 December and finishing in Werribee City Centre on the 12 December

“Keep an eye out for Santa and his festive friends who will be making regular visits in the Werribee City Centre.”

For some night time themed Christmas entertainment, there is movies nights starting in early December, while there will be morning melodies that will have you singing and swaying along to the nostalgic Christmas carols on Tuesday 9 December.

Wyndham libraries will have a range of free themed Christmas activities including Christmas themed story time and rhyme time sessions that will engage and entertain younger residents with Christmas stories, songs and Christmas card craft activities.
