Santa has arrived at Westfield, officially kicking off the Christmas season with festive celebrations and family-friendly activities across the shopping centre network.
While the big man in red made a spectacular entrance at Westfield Chermside in Brisbane, Newcastle shoppers can also get into the Christmas spirit, with Santa photography experiences now underway at Westfield Kotara.
From traditional Christmas portraits to more inclusive experiences designed to suit different needs, Westfield is offering a range of ways for families to capture a festive keepsake.
The sessions aim to make sure everyone can enjoy a visit with Santa in a way that feels comfortable and welcoming.
Auslan Santa sessions are available for children and families who use Auslan as their primary form of communication, with an Auslan-fluent Santa, extended appointments and dedicated support.
Sensitive Santa offers a quieter experience for people with sensory sensitivities, featuring softer lighting, lower music levels and fewer crowds.
There are also Pet Photography sessions, giving families the chance to include their four-legged, feathered or finned companions in their Christmas memories.
Alongside the photo experiences, Westfield centres are rolling out festive activities, gift-shopping options and extended trading hours to help make the countdown to Christmas a little easier.
Santa photography bookings are now open at Westfield Kotara, with session availability and details varying between centres. To find out what’s happening locally and book a festive photo experience, visit the Westfield Kotara website.
