World's Biggest Christmas Hamper

The Guinness World Record was set at 1151 tins or 2 pallet loads that went to the Food bank…thank you Townsville!

Our Christmas hamper was 3 metres long and 1.5 metres wide and our goal was to fill it over the nights of the Stable on the Strand. The collected food items will be distributed  during January and February.

In celebration of Christmas, Townsville’s major waterfront park, Strand park, will be transformed into the historic town of Bethlehem, complete with Roman soldiers, traditional craftspeople, livestock, shepherds and of course Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. Enjoy the ambience of Bethlehem 2000 years ago, then head to the adjacent stage on the beach to be entertained by talented performers.
