There'll also be mini golf, live music and carol singing - and Santa will be putting in an appearance too. Meanwhile, in nearby Blake Street, NB Inspirations, the Jacaranda Tearooms and Proston Health & Beauty will all be open for late night shopping from 5:00pm to 8:00pm so adults can take a break and get in some Christmas shopping while the children are being amused at the Carnival.
