Find The Village at the heart of Winter in the Woods - a welcoming winter precinct designed for gathering, warming up, and lingering in nature a little longer.
As you explore the forest trails and vibrant knitted installations, The Village offers the perfect place to pause and refuel. Enjoy a delicious seasonal selection of food and drink, from sweet treats to mulled wine, hot chocolate to hearty soup - comfort food at its best!
Whether you’re stopping by between walks, before or after a workshop, or settling in to make a teeny tiny beanie, The Village is a place to connect and relax. Gather by the fire pits to toast a marshmallow and take in the stunning views from the heights of the Arboretum.
On Friday and Saturday nights, stay a little longer as the city lights begin to twinkle and the precinct comes alive with music, warmth, and shared moments. It’s the perfect lead-in to an evening of star gazing or special moments as you wander beneath festoons or explore the fairy light tunnel stretching through the Children’s Garden.
Don't miss your chance to experience the glow of the Lantern Parade (July 18 & 19) and discover the Bonsai Collection illuminated after dark - a truly unique winter experience.
