Santa’s Arrival Parade at Fountain Gate

Santa is getting ready to touch down at Westfield Fountain Gate for annual photo sessions, bringing plenty of Christmas cheer for families eager to capture their festive memories early.

Westfield Fountain Gate is ensuring the Santa photography experience is inclusive and accessible for everyone.

Including individuals with sensory sensitivities, and members of the Deaf and hard of hearing community.

Sensitive Santa sessions will be available again this year, offering families a calm and relaxed environment tailored to children with sensory challenges.

These sessions take place before stores open, providing a quiet, sensory-friendly setting to meet Santa.

An Auslan-fluent Santa will also be available, allowing children and families to communicate their Christmas wishes directly to Santa using sign language.

All furry, feathered, and scaly friends are also invited to join in for their annual festive photo.

Jacqui Waine, Scentre Group General Manager of Marketing and Community, says Westfield is going above and beyond to spread the Christmas spirit this year.

“We’re pulling out all the stops…to deliver a season filled with joy and unforgettable moments for everyone,” said Waine.

“Santa photography is more than just a picture; it’s a beloved tradition that brings together families, friends, and even furry companions,”

“We’re thrilled to welcome everyone; old friends, four-legged ones, and new faces alike, to capture new memories,”

Santa will arrive at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre on 8 November.
