Santa in the City

Get ready, because Santa Claus is preparing for his much-anticipated return to Sydney, loading up his sleigh and getting the reindeers ready for the long journey back to the city. After spreading so much joy last year, the City of Sydney is thrilled to welcome him again, where he’ll take up residence beside the iconic Christmas tree in Martin Place.

The elves have already landed in Sydney, working around the clock making exciting updates to Santa's house before his arrival. Santa will remain in Martin Place until he departs on his world tour on Christmas Eve. He has extended an open invitation to all, including your pets, to join him for a magical photo session.

Martin Place will transform into Sydney’s ultimate Christmas destination, featuring the iconic Christmas tree, lively markets, choirs, roaming entertainment, and the return of Santa’s House – where you will immerse yourself in the festive spirit and capture unforgettable memories with Santa Claus.

In conjunction with the City of Sydney, Scene to Believe are proudly supporting the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation Christmas Appeal.

Nobody loves Christmas more than kids – but unfortunately, for some, this time of year isn’t what it should be. When booking your photo session with Santa at Martin Place, you will be contributing to new equipment, training and education, groundbreaking research, or state-of-the-art facilities to help change the future for sick kids.

• $5 from each booking is donated directly to the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.
