Join us this year for a Christmas in July with a difference. 

Bring the family to enjoy a day at Sovereign Hill  and then the Winter Wonderlights spectacular will be lighting up Sovereign Hill once the sun sets. 

The event will likely see the Victorian-style buildings along the main street come alive through the magic of large-scale light projections, Christmas animations and a trail of fairy lights throughout Sovereign Hill’s garden in the dazzling ‘Winter Wonderlights’ show. This show, set to Christmas-themed music, is sure to be bigger and brighter than ever before with more buildings lit up in impressive style, evoking the spirit and enchantment of Christmas. Plus, as always, there will be faux snow falling and that’s pretty magical in itself.

Adults $60, Children 5-15 $30 

This event will sell out quickly, so please register and pay soon. 

We are hoping to have dinner in Winter Wonderlights, details and cost to be confirmed later. 

Stay over at the Best Western Ballarat Suites or make you own accommodation booking - sooner rather than later as hotels seem to be busy.

Saturday night dinner at members own cost at Robin Hood Hotel Ballarat menu 7.15 pm. 

On Sunday enjoy a relaxing walk around Historic Ballarat and Lake Wendouree before a leisurely drive home on the Sunday. 

 All accommodation bookings must be made by members.
