Santa’s Christmas Wonderland Experience is now open in Perth following a launch night on Thursday which was enjoyed by hundreds of invited guests including St Johnstone legend Liam Craig.
Lighting up Perth’s riverside, the new experience throughout the Norie Miller Walk provides all the magic and merriness of Christmas, with interactive surprises throughout including naughty elves and, of course, Santa too.
Visitors on Thursday were the first to enjoy the wonderland’s toasted marshmallows, hot chocolate, mulled wine and more, all against the backdrop of a huge array of amazing, sparkling, joyful, Christmas-themed lighting installations.
Thanks to Perth Christmas Wonderland’s charity partnership, among those in attendance were dozens of guests connected to PKAVS, the first of a staggering 1600 locals who will benefit from free tickets over the next fortnight thanks to donations from Perthshire businesses.
Tickets are available for most dates between December 10 and 23 – available at:
