Sovereign Hill 10:00 am
It’s time to dig out your winter woollies and make the drive to Ballarat, because Sovereign Hill is hosting an illuminated extravaganza this July. That’s right, the annual Winter Wonderlights program is back for another year and this edition promises to bring a bumper schedule of nighttime activities.
Until July 27 (including the school holidays), the much-loved outdoor Gold Rush museum will once again transform into a whimsical winter wonderland, with dazzling new light installations, warming fires, cosy food and drink options, family-friendly activities, live music and more.
Walking through a 19th-century town is always a fascinating experience, but the addition of Christmas music, faux snowfalls and glowing projections on the shopfronts of the main street takes the Sovereign Hill experience to a whole new level.
If exploring after-dark works up an appetite, then warm up with a delicious two-course hearty meal at the Charlie Napier Hotel. Enjoy a festive serving of roast turkey and glazed ham with all the trimmings, followed by dessert.
Your Winter Wonderlights ticket includes entry into regular Sovereign Hill activities during both the day and evening. Book your tickets online here to avoid missing out.
