No bookings are required at Silverdale Mall, but we recommend booking online to skip the queues and make sure you don’t miss out on those magical festive photos with the man in red!

This year we’re bringing you two beautiful photo sets to choose from. It’s all about you—choose your favourite setting, or enjoy photos at both. Want a family photo with Santa… or without? It’s entirely your choice.

Click the following link to book your session for you, your whānau, and even your pets.

Choose your preferred date and photo option, and you’re good to go. 🎄✨
