About this event
After three unforgettable seasons of bringing families together and creating cherished Christmas memories, Santa’s House has become a much-loved part of Sydney’s festive celebrations. Now, as Santa prepares to return to Martin Place for another magical season, his elves are already hard at work, getting his home ready and adding new festive touches and surprises for 2026.
From November through to Christmas Eve, Santa invites families, friends, work groups, and even four-legged companions to step inside his Martin Place home and share in the magic of Christmas. Peering through the windows creates a sense of wonder before stepping inside and being immersed in Santa’s world, where Santa and his elves will be waiting to meet you and capture the special moment with a Santa photo.
Martin Place will once again come alive as Sydney’s ultimate Christmas destination, centred around the City’s iconic Christmas Tree and filled with festive markets, joyful choirs, roaming entertainers and festive energy. And, of course, Santa’s will take pride of place alongside it all. Whether Santa’s house is already part of your Christmas tradition or you’re discovering it for the first time, come and make a little Christmas magic of your own.
In partnership with the City of Sydney, Scene to Believe is proud to continue delivering Santa’s House as an integral part of the City’s Christmas program. Together, we are creating a welcoming and memorable Christmas experience for the community, right in the heart of Sydney.
This Christmas, Scene to Believe is also proud to support Variety – the Children’s Charity NSW/ACT. Variety supports children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability, helping them gain access to vital programs, experiences and opportunities. By booking your Santa photo experience at Martin Place, you’ll be helping support Variety’s work and bring a little more joy to children and families who need it most this Christmas. $5 from each booking is donated directly to Variety – The Children’s Charity.
