Shellharbour City Council invites community members of all ages to come and celebrate Christmas at the Civic Centre by participating in a COVID-safe, festive-themed workshop.

Shellharbour Mayor Marianne Saliba encouraged residents to join in the festivities.  

“Each year, the Civic Centre has an array of exciting Christmas-themed activities on offer and this year, although restrictions are in place to help keep everyone safe, there is still plenty of opportunities for people of all ages to get involved in,” Cr Saliba said. 

“After the difficult year we have all experienced, this is a fantastic way to come together with family and friends, or to simply take a moment for yourself to wind down and learn something new,” she said.
