"Merry Christmas from Bethlehem Town Centre," says Bethlehem Town Centre marketing manager Dan Weck.

'It's been another busy year for our community of staff and store owners; we've welcomed some new faces to our centre in 2022 (PETstock and SBS Bank), we've weathered (literally) the past few months of rain, and, put on our biggest Christmas yet.

'Whether shopping with us, stopping by for a bite to eat, or simply visiting to take a picture on Santa's sleigh, it's been this year's greatest pleasure to see so many people out and about at Bethlehem these past few weeks… between downpours!

'On behalf of all our staff and store owners, we'd like to thank our customers, contractors, and community for your continued support - it really is appreciated every time you walk through one of our doors. Even if it's just for a browse and a natter.

'We're looking to be even bigger and brighter in 2023, with more to see and do, including: Main Street markets, free days, and more new faces. Maybe Goldie the reindeer will find his way back to us by then too!

'We hope everyone gets some time to kick off their shoes, get some sand between the toes, and relax. See you at the sales!”
