Families are invited to experience the magic of Bethlehem in person at Riverside Church’s Nativity Experience this December.

Step into Bethlehem This Christmas

Riverside Church invites visitors to journey 2,000 years back in time through an immersive recreation of Bethlehem. Meet live characters from the Christmas story in an interactive experience for all ages, and discover the true meaning of Christmas.

See shepherds gathered around a real fire with animals, visit the Wise Men in their beautifully decorated tent, and meet the Holy Family with a real newborn baby. Now a much-loved part of Perth’s festive calendar, the experience brings the story of the first Christmas to life.
