What's on this Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

The Council’s Festive calendar is jam packed with fun events, including the popular Norwood Christmas Pageant and Twilight Carols.  

The Parade, Norwood will be buzzing with families and excited children on Saturday 23 November as the much-loved Norwood Christmas Pageant marks the official start of Christmas in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. 

Prepare your best singing voices for Twilight Carols at Linde Reserve on Saturday 7 December.

The community is encouraged to donate books, colouring or activity packs for the Give the Gift of Reading, at the Norwood Town Hall and Council libraries, as well as donating non-perishable food to the Salvation Army or St Vincent de Paul on The Parade, Norwood. 

Bring your bathers and snacks for a movie poolside - Saturday 7 December from 7.30pm and watch the cheeky Grinch try and steal Christmas at Movie Nights at the Pool
