The annual Tabulam and Templer Homes for the Aged (TTHA) Christmas ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’ Market is a wondrous multicultural celebration of Christmas and community. The TTHA Christmas ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’ Market brings together community, social, and school groups as well as many local businesses, in a delightful community Christmas fair.

There are over 50 stallholders showcasing a beautiful array of craft, candles, jewellery, chocolates, raffles and apparel. Our attendees delight in the coffee vans, bratwurst, pretzels, as well as many other food and sweets stalls.

Our children’s tent attracts our little market-goers with face painting and a petting zoo while their parents sample the wares and browse for bargains.  A strong focus of our market is inclusion, community togetherness, and the celebration of Christmas in a multicultural environment. Our residents enjoy selling plants and crafts which raises great funds for our amazing lifestyle program benefiting our residents.

The Christmas ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’ Market creates connections between our residents to the broader community and builds much-needed relationships for those living here at TTHA. The annual market encourages participation from our whole local community, showcasing the individualism and culture of those people living in it.

The whole community’s participation encourages cross-cultural awareness, understanding, respect, community unity, and intercultural relationships. The market ensures our residents can celebrate, preserve and share their cultural traditions in meaningful ways with our wider community.

The market delivers genuine partnerships between the community, our residents, and all of the organisations involved with TTHA. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s market on Sunday, 26th November 2023.  If you would like to know more about our Christmas market, to donate goods or volunteer at the market, please contact the Marketing Coordinator on: E: ttha@ttha.org.au or P: 8720 1333
