Red Nose is the charity partner for Christmas in Glebe Park, which will see the park come alive with light displays, activations, activities and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.

Families can bring along a picnic rug and enjoy the atmosphere of roving carollers and entertainment, wander the light installations and live Christmas tree forest, enjoy the food and drink available in the park, have a photo taken with Santa, enter the draw to win one of seven gingerbread cubbies, place a candle in memory of a loved one, or watch a Christmas movie.

The lights will be switched on every evening until 23 December 2017, with full activation of the park from Thursdays to Sundays.

Entry is free, with all donations going to Red Nose.
