Summer has arrived and so has a month jammed packed with activities! Now it’s time to get planning.
Summer is here and it’s time to come out of our hibernation and embrace everything that is wonderful about living in Sydney. From day drinking to Christmas markets, December is jam-packed with experiences that will have you in the celebratory spirit. Here are our top picks of the things you should be doing this month.
Tramsheds Christmas Hall
For the month of December, the Inner West’s Tramsheds is transforming into Sydney’s very own European Christmas Hall. The precinct is currently hosting a range of festive workshops to keep everyone entertained this festive season, including Bubbles, Burrata and Boccocini making, Christmas Wreath Creation and Gingerbread Decorating. In between cooking classes, you can cool off with a $10 spritz from 4-6pm daily at Bodega 1094.
Commencing from Saturday 1st December, Tramshed’s very own Christmas Artisan Markets will also fill the precinct every Wednesday Night and Saturday. For more information on the cool things happening this festive season at Tramsheds, click here
