“The Garden of Lights is our way of bringing back the days when mom and dad would bundle the whole family into the car to go and see the Christmas lights in town.”
And in celebration of the resort’s 20th birthday, a further R200 000 will be donated to 20 charities that its employees support.
Not only will families be mesmerised by the spectacular lights display at the gardens of the five-star Peermont D’oreale Grande hotel, children will also have an opportunity to take pictures with Santa Claus, the Enchanted Fairy, Gift the Present, the Gingerbread Man, Frosty the Snowman, Santa’s Special Elves and Emperors Palace’s very own beautiful Garden Princess.
The fun doesn’t stop there – explore the Enchanted Garden filled with spell-binding secrets and delightful surprises before skipping over to the Mystic Castle and Magic Sweet Shop, where a selection of the yummiest treats can be purchased. Don’t forget to take a stroll to the North Pole for a peek into Santa’s Workshop.
If that’s not enough, for the first time in South Africa, illusionist Ryan Sharp will present his show, The Magic of Christmas, every day of the display.
This is an amazing show featuring grand scale illusion, ventriloquism, comedy magic, complemented with dazzling special effects and costumes, to bring magic to children – young and old.
