Festival runs 27 JUNE — 26 JULY 2025

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

While the rest of the country hunkers down, Greytown lights up with joy, laughter, and a touch of magic. The Festival of Christmas is a month-long mid-winter celebration filled with festive food, cosy nights, and old-fashioned fun.

At The White Swan, we’re turning up the cheer with roaring fires, twinkling lights, and a calendar full of winter delights.

Whether you’re here for a show, a mid-week escape, or just a mulled wine by the fire — The White Swan is where winter memories are made.
