Christmas has begun at Westfield Belconnen and Westfield Woden. Spreading a little festive cheer and magic throughout the centres until 25 December, there are plenty of activities happening over the next 5 weeks that the whole family are sure to enjoy.

As usual, both centres have been decorated thoughtfully, including a stunning Christmas tree leading you straight to Santa Claus! From now until 24 December, give your children the opportunity to tell the big man what’s on their Christmas wish list and capture the special moment with a Santa photo. Have a four-legged member of the family that you’d also like to be included in this year’s family photo? Pet-friendly Santa photos are also available on selected dates. Making sure everyone gets their time with Santa this Christmas, Westfield also has Sensitive Santa experiences where families can have a photo taken in a relaxed environment, tailored to children with sensory challenges. Bookings are essential for all photos.

If you’ve done the hard yards of finding the perfect gift for your loved ones, let Westfield help you lighten your load by wrapping your presents for you. Gift wrapping is available at Westfield Belconnen from 13-24 December and at Westfield Woden from 2-4 December and 9-24 December. Or if you’re still stuck on a few present ideas, a Westfield Gift Card is the perfect gift, allowing them to shop throughout the centre or anywhere with eftpos payment facilities.

Westfield Belconnen Christmas events
