Santa photos return to Wollongong Central from November 8

Wollongong Central opens Santa photos November 8 through Christmas Eve, including sensory-friendly sessions.

Santa photos at Wollongong Central run from November 8 to Christmas Eve. Photos are at the Gateway building outside David Jones.

The centre runs regular sessions plus sensitive Santa days on Sundays from November 15 onwards. Quiet sessions have less noise and stimulation, and allow extra time.

Pet portrait days are also offered. A Santa parade kicks off the season on November 8 at 10am.

It features Santa, festive performers and a live band moving through the shopping centre.
