The Winter Villagewill make its debut in Parramatta, Sydney for its inaugural launch in New South Wales. Sydney-siders will get a chance to enjoy an alpine-inspired winter wonderland for three months, from June 19 – September 12, 2021.
The Winter Village has partnered with City of Parramatta’s popular Winterlight for its 10th year running, to transform Prince Alfred Square in Parramatta into a winter wonderland, complete with an ice skating rink, igloo village, daily snow showers and food and drink pop ups serving the ultimate cosy comfort food.
The Winter Village is brought to life by Australian Venue Co, who operate a number of favourite pubs, bars and restaurants across Sydney.
Activations Operations Manager, Selena Majumdar is excited to debut The Winter Village in Parramatta, after plans to expand interstate were put on hold last year due to COVID.
“In a year where many Sydney-siders are looking for a new adventure without being able to travel overseas, we’re thrilled to be able to finally bring The Winter Village to NSW and create an escape close to home for locals this winter. We’re launching Parramatta with a bang and can’t wait for friends and families to get a taste of our winter wonderland!”
City of Parramatta Council Lord Mayor, Cr Bob Dwyer said:
“Parramatta is definitely where it’s at this winter. We’re excited to be hosting The Winter Village in beautiful Prince Alfred Square, kicking off what is going to be a jam-packed program to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our iconic Winterlight festival – including our super popular school holiday events.”
For the ultimate experience, guests can pre-book private igloos and cabins, perfect for an afternoon or evening of enjoying some drinks and sharing a bite to eat. Parramatta will have 20 igloos, each measuring 3.6m x 3.6m, which can host up to 8 people.
For those looking to get their igloo fix, the Standard Package Includes a grazing plate of chips, dips, mini pretzels and cured meats, fried chicken, mac ‘n’ cheese croquettes, fries with truffle aioli, herbed slaw, Greek salad, a choice of wine or beer, and a chocolate ice cream sandwich for dessert.
