Step into our Christmas laneways, where plaid meets magic and every corner checks all the boxes for festive fun. Wander through a grove of trees decked out with tartan baubles and velvet ribbons, pause under the mistletoe, and take a moment to soak in our towering Christmas wreath with an oversized tartan bow. Limited-edition tartan-wrapped treats tempt you to eat, drink, and be merry, while every twist and turn uncovers a festive story just waiting to be shared.
And of course, Santa’s swinging by for pre-booked family photos – including a limited run of after-hours sessions – so check your list twice and join the festive fun!
