Geelong Christmas Market and Pet Adoption Drive

Put Saturday in your diary for a day of festive family fun in the gardens of the Geelong Conference Centre!

Hosted in collaboration with Piccadilly Market, the gardens will feature a number of local stallholders to purchase those last-minute Christmas gifts for your loved ones and furry friends alike.

If you feel like getting crafty, a special wreath-making workshop will be held via two sittings with the talented Wild Saffron Florist.

But the fun doesn’t stop there, we’ll also be hosting a pet adoption drive with Pets Haven! Embrace the holiday spirit with the perfect gift this year - a forever home for a rescue pup in need.

There may even be a special appearance from our friend at the North Pole! Come along to find amazing presents to fill your stockings this Christmas, while supporting local businesses.
