The annual Christmas Show returns this year with another spectacular display of talent and entertainment thanks to Queenstown Lakes District Council.

With cartoon spirit and imagination, Margaret O’Hanlon has created and brought to life a heart-warming and magical story that will delight and entertain both adults and children alike. With an all local cast, stunning choreography by Anna Stuart, popular songs and traditional carols, “Not A Creature Was Stirring’ is the perfect holiday show for the whole family.

Featuring some of the most promising bright young singing, acting and dancing stars from the Wakatipu area including performances by:

Queenstown Gymnastics Club
Silk and Circus
Wakatipu Conservatoire of Classical Ballet
Dance Evolution Studio (DEVOS)
The Remarkable Men’s Ballet

‘Excited to be preparing for our 2023 Christmas Show, almost as excited as the children in the show!’ Jan Maxwell, QLDC Relationship Manager Arts and Events.

FUNDRAISING FOR SALVATION ARMY NEW VENUE’S PLAY EQUIPMENT

Salvation Army’s Community & Social Wellbeing Hub recently opened! - this facility is designated to serve our region by providing a space to collaborate with other local social services and to support the growing needs of clients for generations to come.

With some very useful contributions to enable the build of the new premises, the new hub also requires play toys that are interesting and fun for the children to enjoy in the whanau spaces.

The team at Salvation Army have provided us with their wish list for stimulating, colourful, durable and hard wearing structures for busy exploration and sensory experiences.
