Church.
On Saturday 12 December from 4:00pm, the free community picnic and carol service will feature a mix of sing-along festive favourites performed in the heart of the central city.
For the young and young at heart, free face painting, kids’ games and bouncy castles will offer a variety of fun. Food vendors and craft stalls will also be available from 4:00pm, with the carol service beginning at 6:00pm.
St John's assistant minister Tim Capill, says it is the fourth year in a row the church has run the 'Carols in the Square' event and more than 1,500 people are expected to turn out on Saturday.
