THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS COMES ALIVE

Imagine standing beneath a magnificent 38-foot real Christmas tree, surrounded by sparkling lights, giant nutcrackers and candy canes, and illuminated reindeer. Imagine Christmas melodies drifting through the gardens, the irresistible aromas of festive treats, beautiful gifts waiting to be discovered and laughter shared beneath the stars. For 25 magical days, A Christmas Story transforms METT Hotel and its enchanting surroundings into a festive wonderland where there's something to delight every generation. Whether you're here for a romantic evening, a family outing, a festive gathering or simply to soak up the atmosphere, there's a Christmas story waiting for you. And the best part? Everyone is invited.

THREE CHAPTERS. ONE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS.

THE STORY TERRACE
Where Wonderful Discoveries Begin. Wander through a charming collection of festive gifts, artisanal creations and delightful treasures. Discover something special for someone you love, explore creative workshops and enjoy the simple pleasure of finding something unexpected. It's also where The Long Table brings people together through the joy of sharing good food and great company.
THE PIAZZA
Where the Magic Takes Centre Stage. Welcome to the heart of A Christmas Story. Stand in awe of our spectacular 38-foot real Christmas tree, surrounded by festive lights, beautifully decorated trees and enchanting Christmas installations. Capture that perfect Christmas photograph, enjoy the joyful atmosphere and let the music of the season transport you somewhere wonderful. This is where Christmas memories are made.
THE MERRY GROUNDS
Where Good Food Meets Great Company. Follow the delicious aromas and discover a lively festive marketplace filled with seasonal flavours, tempting treats and refreshing drinks. Find your favourites, or try something new and settle in for an evening of laughter, conversation and Christmas cheer. Because some of the best stories begin around a table.

THE SOUND OF CHRISTMAS

About Us Image

THE SOUND OF CHRISTMAS

Let the Music Move You. What would Christmas be without music? From timeless carols to contemporary festive favourites, A Christmas Story brings the season to life with performances that fill the air with warmth and wonder. Be swept away by the magnificent sound of a 42-piece orchestra on opening weekend, with brass ensembles, saxophone quartets, choirs and other musical performances bringing festive cheer scheduled throughout the season. Some moments are simply better experienced together.

THE MAGIC WE SHARE. THE MEMORIES WE KEEP.

CHRISTMAS IS BETTER TOGETHER. A child's eyes lighting up at the sight of a towering Christmas tree. A couple stealing a quiet moment beneath the lights. Friends sharing a meal, families laughing together and familiar Christmas songs bringing back memories of seasons past. These are the moments that make Christmas special. At A Christmas Story, we believe the greatest gift of the season isn't something wrapped beneath a tree. It's the time we share with the people who matter. So bring someone you love. Bring everyone you love. And make this Christmas one to remember.
