An unforgettable Goodwill evening in support of Children’s Medical Research

Dimitra Haziplis, Opsis Designs together with Meg Tudehope, Deputy Chair, Children's Medical Research Institute Foundation invite you into the world of Goodwill, the Maison behind the world’s most coveted Christmas decorations. Found in Harrods and adorning only the most prestigious addresses — from The Ritz Paris and Hotel de Crillon to Cheval Blanc Courchevel and the Royal Mansour Marrakech — Goodwill defines festive artistry at the highest level.

Darren Mckay, Goodwill's in-house designer and creative force behind the Heart by Goodwill collection, exclusive to Opsis, will be in residence from 8-15 October sharing the savoir-faire of Christmas styling: the rhythm of ornament placement, the drape of ribbons, the art of garlands. A rare opportunity to learn directly from Goodwill’s own hand.

Experience the world-renowned Mr Christmas transform Opsis' Goodwill Christmas Tree into a masterpiece akin to those he will create in the majestic hotel lobbies and palaces across Europe this Christmas. 

When: Friday 10 October 2025

Time: 5:00pm-7:00pm

Where: Opsis Designs, 384 New South Head Road, Double Bay

Tickets: $100.00 per person 

All proceeds from the ticket sales will go directly to Children's Medical Research Institute, Australia's first institute dedicated to solving childhood genetic diseases. All ticket sales will be donated to CMRI to further their life-saving work for the 1 in 20 kids living with a genetic disease or birth defect.

In addition, your ticket will operate as a $100 voucher for you to purchase your favorite Goodwill pieces for your own tree or as gifts. Champagne and canapes will also be provided.

For those seeking Goodwill's ultimate expression of luxury, Darren is offering a limited number of truly bespoke Goodwill Christmas trees that he will design and install in private Sydney homes.

With Opsis Designs, Goodwill’s artistry is no longer confined to Europe’s grandest hotels — it can be part of your home.
