Shimmering selfies to snap this Christmas

GET into the festive spirit by snapping some sparkly shots and selfies at Stockland Wendouree.

The shopping centre has partnered with Insta-ready experience provider, Sugar Republic to provide four Christmas-themed photo walls and stations, bursting with colour, tinsel, neon lights, shimmer and shine.

The Tinseltown, Pinkmas, Christmas in Lights, and Naughty or Nice stations are capturing the imaginations of children and grownups for the next few days.

Centre manager, Stevie Wright said her team is proud to provide a space where their shoppers of all ages can enjoy some of the season’s magic while organising everything they need for Friday, 25 December.

It’s a way for the centre to thank their supportive customers after a challenging year.

“We’ve worked really hard to still be able to offer many of the same, much-loved holiday experiences that customers have come to expect from their local retail centre, along with some really exciting new ones,” she said.

“We’ll have special sensory-friendly and pet photography sessions available, in addition to our usual Santa photos which will be slightly modified to be socially-distant.

“We understand that some of our younger customers may have sensory challenges, so we’ve organised for Sensitive Santa photo sessions to be made available for a more inclusive and quiet experience on Monday, 14 December.”

Ballarat Evening VIEW Club volunteers are running their gift-wrapping station outside Shaver Shop with all proceeds going to The Smith Family.

A new Stockland Play augmented reality app is available on the app store for children to download and engage with in-centre.

Paws and Claus sessions are on Saturday, 12 December and Sunday 13 December.
