A month of festive fun in Nelson

The weeks leading up to Christmas will be packed full of Christmas festivities and seasonal joy as we count down to the big day with four weeks of events and activities.

Nelson City Council and Uniquely Nelson, with support from Nelson Centre of Musical Arts and Make/Shift Spaces, have a schedule with something for everyone to enjoy. For the young ones, Santa and his elves will be ready and waiting for the all-important visit and photo in Santa’s Grotto, while the young and young-at-heart will be able to write letters to Santa and post them in Santa’s mailbox. Other events featuring games, carol singing, music and competitions at a range of times and venues throughout the city centre are sure to bring yuletide cheer to everyone.
