Thrive Christmas Party Picnic
2024-12-05 15:00 - 18:00 | Thrive Katoomba Office, 2 Station Street, Katoomba, NSW, 2730, Australia
Thrive Services is hosting our annual community Christmas party, picnic style!
Please join us for some yummy food, activities, arts & crafts and meeting other local families.
This year we will be having FREE Santa photos, in a relaxed, welcoming and calm space.
We understand that the usual Santa photos can be overwhelming or triggering for some, with long lines, loud music and being asked to sit on Santa’s lap being a bit too much. That why this year we’ve worked hard to create a calming environment and to take the stress out of getting to a time slot for your Santa photo. No prior registrations or bookings are necessary, you can register your spot for a photo when you get here on the day.
Just come along, enjoy the day, and make memories!
If you are thinking of attending, please head to the event on our Facebook and click going or interested so we have a rough idea of numbers to cater.
