The silly season is fast approaching, and what better way to celebrate than by hanging out with your nearest and dearest at a free Christmas picnic?

Chambers Ridge is hosting a family-friendly Christmas picnic with an Aussie twist, featuring a stack of free food and entertainment to keep everyone in your brood happy.

Treat your fam to free photos with Santa, as well as a mouth-watering free sausage sizzle, drinks and ice-cream. If you need to keep your energy up there will be a coffee van on site slinging fresh brews.

When you’re done meeting the big man in red, take advantage of the free face painting, balloon twister and jumping castle. Everyone is welcome to come and hang out, so bring a picnic chair and your favourite blanket and make a day of it.

While you’re in the area, be sure to check out the Chambers Ridge display village – you might just end up wanting to stay.
