Winter Wonderlights is BACK, 26 June-19 July 🌈✨

Faux snow, St Nick, and, of course, dazzling lights take over Sovereign Hill once again this winter.

Consider this your official heads-up to lock in your winter plans now - because every year this sells fast and every year people say “we should’ve booked earlier.”

Great news for our Ballarat friends - Locals Pass is back! Purchase or renew your Locals Pass when you buy a Wonderlights ticket: https://tinyurl.com/3v6z4ask

Rug up, bring your people, and get ready for the kind of winter night that’s worth leaving the house for.
