Santa's Arrival at the Toyshop

Who's ready for Christmas? We definitely are!

Santa will be arriving at the Toyshop in his rusty Holden Ute (courtesy of the Mackay and District Holden and GM Club) and will be available for photos in his sleigh and ute.

We have a fantastic event planned complete with Christmas Carollers, a Holden Car Display and Mini Toy Drive for our Community Toy Drive!

Enjoy late night shopping, market stalls, a Great Christmas Scavenger Hunt, roving performers and more in the City Heart.

Come down and enjoy some community Christmas spirit with us!

Kid's VIP Shopping

Do your kids have a list of presents to buy and don't know where to start? We've got Personal Shopping Helpers ready to give kids a VIP personal shopping experience!

Book in a time, bring a list, set a budget, and say goodbye for 30 minutes. When you come back, the child and their elf will have the gifts wrapped and ready to go!

By appointment only - book on Facebook

Bring a parent-approved list of people to buy for (siblings, friends, parents)
Set a budget. We recommend buying a voucher on arrival (any unused funds will be store credit). Cash or a card with a set limit would also work.
Parents leave the shop. This is what makes it super special! Kids get all the attention and help they need without pesky parents around 😉
Kids help wrap the gifts. Wrapping can be half the fun!
VIP Badge included!

When: 30 min sessions from 3pm on weekdays, from 12pm on weekends

Where: Let the Children Play Toyshop
