Santa is coming to town, book your photos today!
Join in the festive cheer as we welcome Santa to Stockland Forster🎅✨.
On Saturday 30 November, Santa will make his grand entrance in style via Fire Truck at 10am! He’ll be joined by cheerful characters and mascots parading through the centre to festive tunes, spreading holiday magic along the way. Our helpful elves will also be handing out kids colouring and decorting actvities to a lucky few!
Plus, book your Santa photos today! Santa's here for the Memory Makers, bringing the cherished photo experience you know and love!
Capture your photo with Santa and join in the special tradition that brings families together. With a variety of photo packages, you’ll find the perfect option to take home a memorable keepsake of this wonderful festive season. At Stockland Forster, we offer three types of Santa photography.
1. Traditional Santa photos
Meet Santa, strike a pose, and capture your magnificent photo! Our trained staff will ensure high-quality images and photography. Your photos will be printed on the spot, so you can take them home the same day.
2. Pet photos
Our furry friends deserve a hug and a photo with Santa too! Don’t miss our popular pet photography packages. Whether your pet is a dog, cat, bird, or bunny, our trained team will follow safe procedures, taking extra time to avoid loud noises and sudden stimulation that could cause anxiety, ensuring your pets are well taken care of.
3. Sensitive Santa photos
These sessions offer a sensory-friendly environment with dimmed lights and no music, designed to allow children with special needs to access photo sessions outside of busy trading hours. This helps children ease into their meet-and-greet with Santa, providing a more comfortable experience without distractions. Santa and the team are trained to communicate with children who may experience sensitivities, ensuring each child feels safe and special.
