MarketPlace Raymond Terrace is also offering sessions with a Sensitive Santa.

Colleen Mulholland-Ruiz from MarketPlace Raymond Terrace told News Of The Area, “In previous years we have had positive feedback, with many people appreciative of the opportunity to spend quiet time with Sensitive Santa in a calm environment.”

The Sensitive Santa sessions are designed to provide a sensory friendly environment that offers a low stress, quiet and calm surrounding for children.

“There will be no music, lights will be dimmed and Sensitive Santa and his helpers will be offering a special moment for all the family.”

In line with government restrictions and for the safety and wellbeing of all, guests will be asked to social distance from Santa and staff, use hand sanitizer and have a temperature check.

Online bookings are essential to secure your spot, this can be done via the MarketPlace Raymond Terrace website www.marketplaceraymondterrace.com.au.

Children having photos taken at Marketplace Raymond Terrace will all receive a Christmas colouring book to take home as well as a free toothbrush from Pacific Smiles Dental.

Santa Paws will also be visiting MarketPlace Raymond Terrace so grab your leashes and furry friends to make a truly memorable family photo.

At Salamander Bay you can book online to visit Santa following the COVID-19 safe rules and there are options to book in with your whole family including your fur babies, check the website for details.

Santa will also be at Birubi Beach on 5 and 6 December, enquire about an outdoor beach session with Santa enquire at Enlight Photography.

Online bookings for Santa visits will assist with avoiding line ups for service and help to keep the community COVID-19 safe.
