christmas under the big top @ burnley oval, richmond

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And Christmas Under the Big Top is kicking off the festive season with a bang. From November 24 through to Christmas Eve, you’ll find billowing circus tents taking over Burnley Oval in Richmond.

Make your way under the big top and enter an interactive wonderland of Yuletide magic. For 2.5 hours, you’ll be able to experience all the festive joy Christmas has to offer under one roof.

Head to Mrs Claus’ bakery and decorate your very own reindeer cookie. Or sit down and listen to Mrs Claus herself in the story time corner. If you’ve been nice this year, write and post a letter to Santa and if you like, meet the big guy himself (for an additional charge).

There are activities aplenty, from the kids craft corner to jumping castles, stacka block construction zone as well as carnival games (extra charge here too) and rides.

Don’t forget to catch the Sesame Street Christmas show where you’ll see Elmo and Cookie Monster sing and dance to some festive classics. You’ll be on the edge of your seat while Circus Royale performers dazzle with nail biting stunts and mind bending acts (mamma’s tip - if your little ones are noise sensitive, be sure to pack some ear muffs).

Christmas Under The Big Top is fun for the whole family, young and old! Mamma’s little one was grinning from ear to ear the whole drive home.
