Free Christmas on the Green @ Hyde Park

Pack a picnic and make a night of it

Christmas on the Green, a great night for kids at Christmas

Christmas on the Green is traditionally one of the high points of the Christmas calendar for those with young children in Sydney, and 2012 is set to be no different - in fact, it's going to be a cracker. As in past years, Hyde Park will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland - the perfect space for families with younger children to settle down with a picnic and get the festive season off to a fantastic start.

Kids' favourite Jimmy Giggle will be host the night, but there will be entertainment from all sorts of familiar faces, such as Peppa Pig, Mumble and Gloria from Happy Feet Two, and Jay Laga'aia from Playschool. Musical entertainment will be provided by children's entertainment act Electric Lunchbox, the Australian Girl's Choir and Jay Laga'aia will also doing a few songs too.

The whole event will be interactive, with songs and actions that the kids can join in with, as well as craft activities that they can take part in. For those who aren't keen on packing a picnic, there will also be a sausage sizzle and delicious gelato on sale. If you want a memento of the night (and to start the Christmas gift giving early), a limited number of showbags will available for a $2 donation - the proceeds go to the Australian Children's Music Foundation charity.

Of course, no Christmas kids event would be complete without Santa, so as if all the other activities are not enough, Santa will also be making an appearance, along with the Lord Mayor, having just lit the lights at Martin Place. He'll be wishing everyone a happy Christmas, and making sure that the boys and girls are going to be good before the big day.

The night's activity will end with a spectacular fireworks display, especially designed for kids.

This event gets pretty busy, so it's wise to get there a little early to get a good spot. Spread out your rug, unpack your snacks, and settle in for the duration, it's going to be a jolly good time.

Sydney Christmas Sydney gets its Christmas sparkle on

The City of Sydney's Sydney Christmas 2012 will once again be stringing up twinkling lights, setting up Christmas trees, presenting concerts, and generally bringing the festive season to life and into the hearts of children within the council's boundaries in 2012. One lucky child will even win the chance to ride with Santa in his sleigh to Martin Place and light the giant Christmas tree. How's that for some Christmas magic?

Sydney gets its sparkle on from Thursday 22 November with concerts, choirs, projections, Christmas trees and decorations spreading some Christmas cheer all over town. Below is your guide to all that's happening.

Martin Place Children's Concert and Tree Lighting

Sydney Christmas has its signature event at Martin Place from 6pm on Thursday 29 November. While it's really about that giant tree there will be lots of entertainment in the lead up to the switch-throwing ceremony. The kids will love perennial Play School favourites like Jemima, Fergus, Big Ted and Little Ted, along with Lah Lah's BIG Live Band and the Sydney Childrens Choir. The event will be compered by the X Factor's Luke Jacobz and singer Paulini is the headline performer.

There will also be fireworks and kids' showbags for $2. Proceeds will go to the Australian Childrens Music Foundation, who provide free music education and instruments to disadvantaged children.

The event will be hosted by Jimmy Giggle unfortunately sans Hoot, but Jay Laga'aia, the Australian Girls Choir and Electric Lunchbox will be there, along with a sausage sizzle, kids' craft activities and yet more fireworks.

Sydney's city streets will be alive with Christmas carols on Thursdays from 22 November to 20 December. The music is from 12 noon to 2pm and again from 7 pm to 9 pm on the first Thursday (22 November) and the following Thursdays will ring with song from 7 pm to 9 pm. Choirs include a capella groups Soulfood and Alchemy, as well as Tuxedo, the Cleftomaniacs and many more. There will also be roving entertainment. All the choral action will take place at Castlereagh Street, Pitt Street Mall and the Queen Victoria Building.

Projection

Every evening from Thursday 29 November to Christmas Day Sydney Town Hall will be awash with colourful, Christmasy light projections

Christmas Trees and Decorations

Sparkling, shiny Christmas decorations will adorn a number of streets and the village locations. They include Crown Street, Redfern Street, Redfern Park, Erskineville Road, Glebe Point Road and Darlinghurst Road. Christmas trees will also spring up in Hyde Park, Customs House Square, Pitt Street Mall, Sydney Square, St Mary's Cathedral Forecourt and Taylor Square.

Take your children along for all the magic and memories of a Sydney Christmas. You'll probably have something to smile about too.

Sydney Town Hall Christmas

Decorations and Illuminations in Sydney's CBD

The City of Sydney knows how to put on a good show, and this year's Christmas decorations are no exception. There will be tinsel and lights everywhere.

Christmas Trees and Decorations

As well as the giant Christmas tree in Martin Place, there will be smaller (but no less beautiful) trees at various key locations throughout the city including Customs House Square, St Mary's Cathedral Forecourt, Taylor Square, Hyde Park North, Kings Cross, Pitt Street Mall and Sydney Square. The CBD will be alight with thousands of twinkling LED lights, ribbons and baubles.

The city's adjoining villages haven't been forgotten either - there will be decorations on Erskineville Road, Redfern Street, Crown Street, Darlinghurst Road and Glebe Point Road. There will also be lights at Shannon Reserve in Surry Hills, Turruwul Park in Rosebery and Redfern Park. I'm starting to feel festive just thinking about it.

Sydney Town Hall Projections

Not to be left out of the festive happenings, Sydney Town Hall will host a live projection show every evening from Thursday 29 November until Christmas Day. The projections will be beamed on to the facade of this majestic old building, and cast pretty coloured shadows on it's surroundings. Definitely one for the Christmas photo album, so don't forget to pack your camera, and get snap happy.

Book Hotel Accommodation Early This Christmas to Avoid Disappointment - Metro Hotels

The Christmas holiday season is a popular time for people to stay overnight in Sydney to avoid driving home after festive celebrations, or to accommodate visiting relatives and friends in city accommodation - but many people leave it too late to book, a leading Australian hotel chain has warned.

George Bedwani, COO of Australian hotel chain Metro Hotels, said accommodation in Sydney is already booking fast for the Christmas and New Year period, and people planning celebrations in the city during this period should consider booking now to avoid disappointment.

“It is important to remember that if you book early you will save on hotel rates as leaving it until the last minute, occupancy will rise and premium rates will apply.

“Our experience is that the current depressed economy has not impacted bookings for this period at all and accommodation in Sydney will be heavily booked for December and January. If people already know the date of their office Christmas party or want to spend New Year’s Eve in Sydney, now is the time to book accommodation.”

Mr Bedwani said New Year’s Eve in Sydney continues to be an international highlight, with Sydney City Council ensuring each year is uniquely themed to ensure crowds continued to congregate around the harbour to enjoy the spectacular fireworks and other festivities on offer.

He said some rooms were still available for New Year’s Eve for people keen to make the most of the celebrations, or to show visitors one of the best celebrations anywhere in the world.



Metro Hotels has five hotels and apartments in Sydney CBD. All its Sydney properties are heavily booked so people seeking accommodation for the December or January period should visit the Metro Hotels website at www.metrohotels.com.au

or call the toll free Central Reservations line on 1800 004 321.

BESydney expands the 2012 ABEE Hosted Buyer Program

Australia’s leading convention bureau, Business Events Sydney (BESydney), in conjunction with the Australian Business Event Expo (ABEE) and airline partner Qantas, has expanded the ABEE Hosted Buyer Program to include both Hosted and Semi-hosted Buyer Programs that will run from 14–16 August 2012.

Last year’s Hosted Buyer Program catered for a qualified number of fully hosted buyers. This year, expanding the program to two streams will introduce more local buyers to the show floor and enhance the quality and quantity of appointments for exhibitors.

“The expansion of the ABEE Hosted Buyer Program is a strategic decision to ensure ABEE’s show floor continues to be a dynamic platform for supplier and client connection, networking and business,” comments Lyn Lewis-Smith, CEO of BESydney.

“The two distinct programs ensure that both the hosted and semi-hosted buyer experience is productive, as well as educational, and really delivers on the modern day buyer’s needs. We’ve acted on feedback provided by previous participants and have made supplier appointments, key site inspections and networking the priorities in both programs.”

Jodie Richmond, CEO of Exhibition and Trade Fairs (the owner of ABEE) adds, “It is fantastic to work alongside Business Events Sydney and airline partner Qantas to grow the already successful ABEE Hosted Buyer Program. Our combined understanding of the business event market, paired with a savvy, concise format, will see the Program deliver enhanced results to both our Buyers and our Exhibitors this year.

Hosted buyers will receive complimentary Qantas return travel to Sydney and 2 nights' accommodation in a leading Sydney hotel. This program includes participation in the educational program that is punctuated with fantastic speaking talent, scheduled appointments, the Destination Site Inspection Tour, gala events and all ground logistics.

Semi-hosted buyers will have the opportunity to schedule appointments with suppliers, listen to selected speakers on the educational program and enjoy the ABEE Hosted Buyer Dinner. They will also have the option of participating in a full-day Destination Site Inspection Tour.

The Australian Business Events Expo runs from 15–16 August 2012 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and is the ultimate marketplace for business events in Australia.

Review of Metro Hotel on Pitt by Max Llewelyn, Editor of The Holiday and Travel Magazine

Thanks for organizing my stay at the Metro Hotel on Pitt. It exceeded my expectations, as I was not sure what to expect after reading the rather negative reviews of it on TripAdvisor. 

The room size, cleanliness, quietness, comfort of bed, decor, friendliness and professionalism of staff were alI great. 

My wife was jealous that she did not stay with me at the Metro Hotel on Pitt after I told her how good it was. I crammed too much into my the day and a half in Sydney,(seeing and reviewing the Maritime Museum. Wildlife Sydney, Sydney Aquarium, Museum of Sydney. and Aida at the Opera House).  

I had passes to see Madame Tussauds and The Sydney Tower, but ran out of time to see these, so I hope to see them on my next visit to Sydney. I reviewed the Sydney Tower Buffet, Selah Restaurant, and City Extra at Circular Quay, and even though they were  good, I preferred the Paradiso Cafe, Bar & Restaurant at the Metro Hotel on Pitt. 

The food was good and better value for money, Lawrence the owner more friendly, and the atmosphere suited my lifestyle more. This is the place I will take my family to breakfast, lunch of dinner if we ever all go down to Sydney together. I arrived home yesterday afternoon in time for my night shift at work, so I will write and post a positive article on the Metro Hotel on Pitt today Thanks again for arranging the review oppotunity of the Metro Hotel on Pitt

Best regards,
Yours Faithfully,

Metro Hotels to Host the Cast of World Acclaimed ‘Rock the Ballet’ - Metro Hotels

Rasta Thomas’ Rock the Ballet, a fusion of classic ballet technique combined with the excitement of musical theatre, hip hop, martial arts, tap, contemporary, gymnastics and more, will be performing in Australia from May 28 to July, 2012 - with Australian hotel chain Metro Hotels once again accommodating the cast during their show in Sydney.

“Metro Hotels is a keen supporter of major international shows.  In the past, our hotels have hosted the Japanese performing troupe Drum Tao in Sydney, the cast of Bar at Buena Vista and Cuban Ballet – Ballet Revolution and performers from the theatrical dance spectacular ‘The Merchants of Bollywood’ for the duration of their shows,” said Mr George Bedwani, Chief Operations Officer of Metro Hotels.

Described by critics as ‘absolutely dazzling dancing’ ‘The music is great…the dance gives it fresh meaning…amazing skill and passion.  They are insanely good dancers’ and ‘their incredible skills shone through every move they did…the most fun you’ll ever have at a ballet’, this raunchy, powerful and brilliantly entertaining show will commence its 2012 Australian tour in Melbourne on May 28.
According to Rasta Thomas, founder, director and principal dancer, Rock the Ballet is a show that goes way beyond a normal dance company experience and transcends borders.  “We are so fortunate to share Rock the Ballet with audiences across the globe – if you like great music, great dancing and want to have a great time, this show is for you!” he said.

“Metro Hotels is proud to be accommodating the cast in our hotels and hopes the show will attract people from all over Australia to visit one of our major cities, stay at one of our hotels and enjoy the production,” Mr Bedwani said.
