Christmas Carols to be heard again in Sawtell in 2024

Sing in the festive season at Sawtell Carols by Candlelight on the Village Green. This Christmas Sawtell will again hear the sounds of a traditional Christmas as many loved Carols are sung on the evening of Wednesday 18th December 2024.

This is the 18th year of Sawtell Uniting Church carols by candlelight, a well supported community event that marks the week leading up to Christmas. The Village Green at Sawtell Reserve will be lit up by you and your family's presence and some electric candles which will be available by donation.

This free event is proudly brought to you by the Sawtell Uniting Church. It is a family friendly opportunity to enjoy a (free) night out with friends in a lovely location and to join in the advent celebration.

Come from 6pm to set up your family picnic or just arrive before Santa visits at 7.15pm, with the traditional Carol singing starting at 7.30pm.  

Essential parking only on-site. You are welcome to bring your own food, or from First Avenue shops, but also some food / drink vans and the Netball Club BBQ will be on site.

Song books and electric candles will be available on the night. A donation to aid a local group will be appreciated.

We also thank Fire & Rescue Station 441 Sawtell for their assistance to Santa Claus.

We commend the council of the City of Coffs Harbour, and thank Big 4 Sawtell Beach Holiday Park, for their enthusiastic assistance to provide this new location.
