Emerald families are invited to enjoy a magical day of Christmas fun as Emerald Co-op Mitre 10 teams up with Fernlea Community House to host a special children’s event designed to bring joy to the local community.
Created as an accessible and heartwarming alternative to the often costly shopping centre photo sessions, this family-friendly celebration promises a festive atmosphere filled with activities that children will love. Young attendees can look forward to colourful face painting, creative arts and crafts, exciting gift bags, and the chance to take photos with Santa and Mrs Claus—memories sure to be treasured long after the decorations come down.
Parents are encouraged to bring along gold coins for the lucky dip, drinks, and BBQ, with all contributions helping to make the event even more special and to support the ongoing work of Fernlea Community House.
Tickets are just $5 per person, with free entry for children under two, making it a wonderfully affordable Christmas outing for families. As an added bonus, one lucky ticket-holder will take home a special prize drawn on the day, adding even more excitement to the festivities.
Organisers hope this event will grow into a much-loved annual tradition for Emerald, bringing neighbours and families together to celebrate the magic of the season. They also hope the day will give locals an opportunity to experience the warm, welcoming environment that has been created at Fernlea Community House—a space dedicated to supporting local families in whatever ways they need. The team’s vision is for Fernlea to continue evolving as a trusted community hub, one that people can rely on throughout the year.

• When: Sunday 7 December – 11am to 3pm
• Where: Fernlea Community House, Emerald
• Cost: $5 per person | Children under two free
