Explore Santa’s Window Trail

This Christmas, businesses throughout the Launceston city centre are spreading Christmas cheer with creative festive window displays. Explore the map of participating businesses and marvel at their spectacular displays on your own self-guided Christmas tour of the city.

Beginning 28 November, ask the elves behind the counter of participating shops for a free small stocking stuffer!*

While you're exploring, make sure you drop off your letter to Santa in his mailbox outside Petrarch's bookshop (available 28 November to 17 December).

*Available while supplies last.
