🎅 Santa’s Grotto is Taking a Break This Year!
For the past 4 years, Santa’s Grotto in Bowral has brought festive joy to the Southern Highlands - and it’s all thanks to C3 Destiny Church, our amazing team of volunteers, and YOU, our wonderful community!
Behind the scenes, a huge amount of work goes into making the Grotto happen each year - from planning, admin, advertising, and rosters, to decorating the hall, taking and sending thousands of photos, running kids’ craft activities, serving food and coffee, and packing everything down after Boxing Day.
It takes hundreds of volunteer hours, and many have given up their own Christmas break to make it all happen. We’re so incredibly grateful.
This year, while Wingecarribee Shire Council generously offered the Senior Citizens Hall again, we unfortunately don’t have the extra funds needed to run the event in 2025.
More importantly, we feel it’s time to give our incredible team a well-earned break, to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with their own families this Christmas 🎄❤️
This year, C3 Destiny Church and the Southern Highlands Christian Community Centre (aka The Coffee Hub) will instead be focusing on delivering Christmas hampers and gifts to local families and children doing it tough, in partnership with local schools and organisations.

From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU for the support and love you’ve shown Santa’s Grotto over the past 4 years. We truly do live in an amazing community!
We hope to bring Santa’s Grotto back in 2026! 🫶
