CHRISTMAS COMES TO CAMBERWELL

It’s December already so no doubt the stress levels are rising but don’t forget to take some time out for what’s truly important and that’s celebrating the season.

Join us on Saturday December 13 for Family Day at the Camberwell shopping precinct. The balloons are out, there’s music and entertainment in the streets, take your own photos with the jolly man in red and even join him for rides around the streets in an antique fire engine with Fireman Rob. [This has become a bit a Camberwell tradition each year for many families, as has the Where’s Rudolf treasure hunt with a chance to win $500].

The Salvation Army Band play so bring some coins for the collection, the shops will have carols playing and the Fresh Food Market has community day celebrations. In The Well shopping centre you can dress up for a unique photo with friends, learn some tips at the cooking demonstrations and if you take your gifts to the wrapping station they will do it for you for a gold coin donation to charity.

With over 400 stores it’s easy to get all the gifts you need without the hassle of the busy shopping malls and maybe bump into the neighbours to stop for a quick festive catch up.

Camberwell traders thank you for your support and wish you all a safe and happy festive season.

WHERE’S RUDOLF?

Camberwell’s annual Where’s Rudolph competition is back for 2014 and the hunt is on!

You’ll find posters of all Santa’s nine reindeer in the shop windows throughout the Camberwell shopping precinct. If you find a reindeer, you can enter the minor prize draw.

If you find a poster of Rudolph himself you could winn the Grand prize of a $500 Shopping voucher! There are bonus prizes too so the more reindeer you find the more chances to win! How many can you find?

We have so many great activities, events and giveaways for Christmas.

CHRISTMAS FAMILY DAY: SATURDAY 13th DECEMBER.

Featuring: roving street performers, juggles, acrobats and circus, live music for the whole family, balloon artists, face painters, Santa’s little helpers giving out balloons and reindeer antlers, free rides on Santa’s antique fire truck and other fun activities for the kids of all sizes!

PHOTO BOOTH FUN – CHRISTMAS PHOTOS WITH A DIFFERENCE!

From the 13th to the 19th December the digital photo booth will be in The Well shopping centre so come along and have some fun. You get an instant digital print and can choose to upload your images to our Facebook, along with other customers. There are dress ups and props and a backdrop to create a special Christmas pic with friends.

Meet Author Matthew Reilly

The Australian master of action is back! Prepare yourself for another legendary race to the end of one of Matthew Reilly’s trilling action novels, as The Great Zoo of China is released in November!

It is a secret the Chinese government has been keeping for forty years… a species of animal no one believed even existed that will amaze the world.
Now the Chinese are ready to unveil their astonishing discovery within the greatest zoo ever constructed. A small group of VIPs and journalists has been brought to see the fabulous creatures for the first time. The visitors are assured by their Chinese hosts that they will be struck with wonder at these beasts, that they are perfectly safe, and that nothing can go wrong.
Of course it can’t…

Race in to meet Matthew and get your book signed in person!
