Westfield Marion is holding a Santa’s Breakfast hosted by San Churro on Sunday 15 November 2026, from 9:30am to 11am. Tickets are $10 each and are booked through the Westfield app. Parking at the centre is free. Santa photos are a separate booking made online, and the centre also lists a new batch of stores that are open now.
This guide follows Westfield’s own pages for the centre: the Santa’s Breakfast event page, the Santa photography page, the parking page and the new stores page, all read on Tuesday 27 October 2026. The event page carries a note that upcoming events are subject to change.
What is the Santa’s Breakfast at Westfield Marion, and what does $10 buy?
The event page describes a fun-filled morning of Christmas cheer hosted by San Churro. It says Westfield Members are invited to join Santa and his festive friends. A $10 ticket includes:
- San Churro mini churros with chocolate dipping sauce and strawberries
- Fresh juice
- Balloon twisting
- Face painting
- A visit from Santa Claus
The page says tickets will sell out fast and tells you to book by downloading the free Westfield app. It does not say how many tickets there are or whether any are left, so open the app to see what is available.
What are the rules for the breakfast?
The event page sets these conditions:
| Topic | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Who the breakfast is for | Children only, who must stay under a parent’s or guardian’s supervision at all times |
| Tickets for adults | Parents and guardians do not need a ticket for themselves |
| Tickets for children | Each child attending must have a confirmation ticket to confirm they are on the list |
| Santa’s time | Santa and his helpers will not spend the entire time at the breakfast |
| Refunds | No refunds within 48 hours of the event |
| If you cannot come | Contact the centre if you cannot attend after confirming your ticket |
| Allergies | Food may contain traces of nuts, eggs and other allergens; complete the questionnaire when you book |
The page adds that the food is prepared on the day, so no substitutes are available, and that not all dietary requirements can be met. If your child has an allergy, say so in the booking questionnaire before you pay.
Is there anything on after the breakfast?
Yes. The page says that once the party is over, the festive activities continue. From 11am to 2pm, the page says, children can have free face painting and balloon twisting on Level 1, near Pandora at Santa’s village. The page does not say whether the free session runs on 15 November only or on other days too.
How do I book Santa photos, and where is Santa?
The Santa photography page says the Santa set is in Centre Court, on Level 1, and gives the David Jones or Myer car park as the best parking for it. It lists three types of session, each booked online:
| Session | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Family and Friends | For families, friends, sports teams, school groups and work groups; an online booking system offers session times and photo packages |
| Sensitive Santa | A relaxed experience for children with sensory challenges, held before stores open when the centre is quieter; online bookings are essential |
| Pet photography | Pets can join the family photo, dress-ups are welcome; online bookings are essential, sessions book out quickly and there are no walk-ins |
The page also says all children who visit Santa receive a special gift to take home. The booking links go to the centre’s photography booking site. The pages we read do not list the first day or the dates of the photo sessions, so check the booking site for dates before you plan a day around it.
Where should I park for Santa and the breakfast?
The Westfield Marion parking page says no parking charges apply. Unless a sign says otherwise, parking near the centre has a limit of 5 hours, and spaces very close to entrances normally have shorter limits, from 15 minutes near the banks to 90 minutes near fresh food. The page says inspectors from the City of Marion Council patrol the car parks, and that the council receives the money from parking infringements.
The page lists 64 wheelchair spaces, 17 parents’ spaces, 613 express spaces and 31 Seniors’ spaces, and says there are 11 entry and exit points off Diagonal Road, Sturt Road and Morphett Road. The page does not say which car park is nearest the Santa set; the Santa photography page names only the David Jones or Myer car park as the best parking. These are four of the Level 1 car parks on the parking page, with the stores it lists as nearest to each:
| Car park | Level and entrance | Nearest stores |
|---|---|---|
| Myer Triangle | Level 1, from Diagonal Road or Sturt Road | Myer |
| Diagonal Road car park | Level 1, from Diagonal Road | Myer, David Jones |
| Undercover David Jones car park | Level 1, from Diagonal Road or Morphett Road | David Jones, JB Hi-Fi |
| Bus Interchange car park | Level 1, from Sturt Road | Best & Less, BIG W |
If you are bringing a pet for a Pet photography session, the Santa photography page recommends parking on Level 1, where no escalators are needed, and entering through the Level 1 office tower entrance near Commonwealth Bank. It tells visitors to carry pets on escalators and not to place them on the steps, and to use the lifts if the pet is too heavy to carry.
Can I get to Westfield Marion by bus?
Commons describes the photo above as the Marion Centre Bus Interchange, formerly known as the Sturt Road Bus Station, and Westfield’s parking page lists a Bus Interchange car park with an entrance on Sturt Road. Westfield’s own “Getting here” page did not load when we checked, so we cannot give a route number or a stop. Plan the trip with the Adelaide Metro Journey Planner, entering Westfield Marion or 297 Diagonal Road as the destination. Our fares and Tap and Pay guide explains how to pay.
What time does Westfield Marion open on a Sunday?
The centre’s opening hours page shows 9am to 5pm for Sunday 1 November 2026, and 9am to 5:30pm on most other days listed up to Monday 2 November, with late-night trading until 9pm on Thursday 29 October. The page we read does not yet show Sunday 15 November, so we cannot confirm the day’s hours. The breakfast starts at 9:30am, so plan to arrive a little before then. The Concierge number on the page is 08 8298 1188.
Which new stores are open at Westfield Marion?
Westfield’s new stores page lists these stores in two groups, “Now Open” and “In case you missed it”, with its own wording on where to find them. The page does not give opening dates, so we cannot say which opened most recently.
| Store | Page section | What the page says |
|---|---|---|
| Sushi Hub | Now Open | Level 1, near Pandora; sushi, sushi boxes and party platters |
| ASICS | Now Open | Level 2, near Grill’d |
| Schnitz | Now Open | Level 2, in the food court |
| OPSM | Now Open | Reopened with a new look; the page says it is providing hearing assessments, hearing aid prescriptions and fittings for the first time in SA, with audiologists |
| Aesop | Now Open | Level 1, near Cibo Espresso |
| Breadtop | Now Open | Level 1, near Woolworths |
| Swarovski | Now Open | New look, with an Ariana Grande x Swarovski capsule range |
| Baby Bunting Junior | In case you missed it | Level 2, near Kmart |
| Stylerunner | In case you missed it | Level 1, near David Jones |
| Adore Beauty | In case you missed it | Level 1, near Myer |
| Nude Lucy | In case you missed it | Level 1, near David Jones |
| Clarks | In case you missed it | No location given on the page |
The page also lists one more store as still to come, with no opening date, so we have not covered it.
