Santa Claus has taken up residence at Westfield Plenty Valley, taking requests for Christmas presents.

Families can get into the Christmas spirit with Santa photography, surprise and delight moments, community gifting opportunities and festive events in the lead up to the holiday.

Scentre customer experience group director Lillian Fadel said the centre in Mill Park was “delighted” to welcome the jolly man to the centre to meet families and bring the magic of Christmas to locals.

“Santa’s arrival marks the beginning of the most magical time of the year at Westfield,” she said.

“This year we are working to ensure there will be more Christmas cheer than ever before.”

Bookings are now open for Santa photographer sessions, including Sensitive Santa – a relaxed, sensory-friendly experience – and pet photography for families who want to include their furry or feathered family members.

Westfield are operating services, including Santa visits, in line with government and health advice.

Bookings are required and can be made online
