🌲 The Christmas Market

Find thoughtful gifts and festive treasures from a curated collection of regional artists, makers and independent brands. Discover beautiful pieces for the home, handmade creations and treats to tuck under the tree—or keep for yourself.

🌲 Music & Unexpected Encounters

Music producer Holy Pavlova brings the soundtrack to YULE, setting the mood for an evening of browsing, feasting and celebrating.

Keep an eye out as you explore. You might bump into some rather interesting characters, with roaming performers bringing playful surprises and a little Christmas mischief to the crowd.

🌲 The YULE Lounge | 18+

Make time for a festive catch-up in the YULE Lounge, our dedicated space for guests aged 18 and over.

Enjoy your favourite drink or signature YULE cocktail from the Henry Clive bar, and settle into the festival atmosphere with friends. A little Christmas cheer, South Coast style.

🌲 Food & Festive Flavours

Come hungry—there’s plenty to make a meal of.

From crowd-favourite gozleme, Argentinian street food and smoky barbecue to pizza, bagels and golden churros, discover satisfying choices for the whole family, alongside sweets worth saving room for.

Browse pantry favourites too, including nuts, olive oil and delicious provisions to share at Christmas or turn into a thoughtful gift.

🌲 Christmas Lights & Festive Sights

As evening falls, see YULE sparkle.

A six-metre illuminated Christmas tree forms the heart of the festival, surrounded by glowing lights and festive installations. Take a wander, gather for a photo and make a Christmas memory together.
