If you are in Sydney around Christmas time, don’t miss the most popular Christmas event called Carols in the Domain.
This huge event is a massive Christmas celebration where families come together to sing along to Christmas carols by either attending in person live at the Domain or watching it on TV.

This traditional event is held outdoors and involves live music and singing performances of popular Australian artists, famous TV personalities, and local choirs.

The carols event in Sydney also includes a spectacular fireworks display. Thousands flock to the Domain year after year, where they bring a picnic blanket and a few nibbles and settle in to listen to traditional Christmas music as the sun goes down.
Gates generally open at 1pm, and attendees can bring picnic rugs, ground seating, and free-standing shade structures. Items not permitted include elevated seating, beach umbrellas, glass products, sparklers, pets, BBQs or bean bags. Alcohol is permitted, but only in small quantities.
The Domain is adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, between Art Gallery Road and Hospital Road, Sydney. This year, the event will be fully fenced to ensure a safe environment for all patrons. When you arrive at the Domain, please go to the Main Entry – or the Reserved Entry if you’ve purchased Reserved Seats – on Art Gallery Road.
Remember to plan and give yourself plenty of time to get there. The best way to get to the Domain is by public transport.
- By Train: Exit at St James, Martin Place (T4, South Coast Line) or Circular Quay (T2, Airport, Inner West and South Line and T3, Bankstown Line)
- By Ferry: Walk to the Gardens from Circular Quay
- By Bus: Take the Sydney Explorer buses 441 or 200
Hi do you know when the 2021 carols on the domain will be on TV
Hi Jacob,
Carols in the Domain will be broadcast on Channel 7 and 7plus on Thursday, December 23rd at 7:30pm.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a TV guide anywhere online for the end of next week just yet, but if the 2020 version is anything to go by, it was replayed 6am on Christmas morning.
Thanks
Michael
Hi are we able to watch a repeat of carols in the domain 2021 and how?
Regards Georgia
Hi Georgia,
Carols in the Domain will be broadcast on Channel 7 and 7plus on Thursday December 23rd at 7:30pm.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a TV guide anywhere online for the end of next week just yet, but if the 2020 version is anything to go by, it was replayed 6am on Christmas morning.
Odds are it will be available online on one of Channel 7s replay services, so hopefully, you can watch it at a better time.
Thanks
Michael
Do you know when, roughly the time, the Wiggles will be on at Carols in the Domain on Sat 18th December?
Hi Jutka,
I have looked through the entire official website and can’t find any information on a program or setlist for the event – only the list of main performers who will be there.
If previous years are anything to go by, you would think they would be placed towards the beginning of the event for children.
Thanks
Michael
Hello is there a taped version of Carols in the Domain on Internet as I watch it every year and something came up last night and didn`t have time to tape it…Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
I have checked the Carols Facebook page and it states that it is to be televised again on Christmas morning at 6am or you can watch it on 7Plus for the next 30 days.
I have looked at 7plus, and you can view the Carols online at the following link: https://7plus.com.au/woolworths-carols-in-the-domain-2020.
Thanks
