UPDATE – Monday 10 December 8.45am

Newtown Carols on today!

We are ready to roll today as the forecast is great - so thanks everybody for waiting an extra couple of days. Gates open at 5.30 so come on down.

There are still some tickets left from the outlets below, and there will be limited ticket sales on the gate on Monday night - see you there!

All of your generous donation goes to Life Flight Trust & Ronald McDonald House Wellington.

Gates open at 5.30 and access is from the main entrance at 1 Rugby St and also Drummond St off Adelaide Road. Limited Parking is available at Wellington College for $5.00. Support for disabled access is available (motorised golf cart transport from the Main Entrance) and a reserved area for elderly and disabled seating is available. Elderly folk may bring a folding chair as long as they are in or around this area or the perimeter of the field (to minimise sightline disruption and conserve space). Otherwise folding chairs, low-sand chairs and umbrellas are not permitted.

You are welcome to bring a picnic and rug to sit on, but please bunch up for neighbouring people also.

Chilly bins are not permitted, but soft-sided bags with food and drinks are. No glass please. Please note that bags may be subject to search at the gates. Please take all of your litter with you or use the bins provided. Intoxicated or offensive behaviour will result in ejection from the ground. Thank you for your donation via your entry ticket to Life Flight Trust and Ronald McDonald House. 100% of your donation goes to both charities, with all proceeds from tickets shared evenly between them.
