Chas Clarkson Christmas & Illumination

08/10/2026

🎄✨ The finishing touches are underway!

With Christmas installation season just around the corner, our Chas Clarkson team is busy behind the scenes preparing the decorations and festive displays that will soon transform spaces across Australia.
From the finer details to the final preparations, it’s all hands-on deck as we get ready to bring the Christmas magic to life.

Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s happening behind the scenes! 👀✨

The Chas Clarkson team cannot wait for this magnificent design suite to return to 333 Collins Street for another year! The heritage listed foyer is renowned for its long and rich history dating back to 1893. With the stunning detailed architecture and mosaic flooring, it’s one of the most impressive heritage interiors amongst the city scape of modern Melbourne. We’re honoured to continue working with such an incredible venue again for 2026 and revive a design that celebrates and amplifies 333 Collins Street’s timeless grandeur.

Creating spaces that bring people together.

Across Australia, Leagues Clubs and RSLs play an important role in their communities: places to connect, celebrate and create lasting memories.

Thoughtful seasonal design can help strengthen that experience, whether through venue styling, illuminated features or interactive moments.

At Chas Clarkson, we work with clubs to create solutions that feel right for their venue, their members, and their community. Balancing creativity, practicality and long-term value.

From ready-to-go collections and hire solutions to bespoke installations and asset rejuvenation, there are many ways to create greater impact this Christmas.

Planning for Christmas 2026? We’d love to explore what’s possible. 🎄🎅🏽

Farewell… but not quite goodbye. ❤️

After almost a decade with Chas Clarkson, we are celebrating Andreas and the enormous contribution he has made to our creative world.

From shaping The JOY Studio and mentoring an incredible creative team, to challenging us to keep imagining what Christmas and experiences could become, AZ has left his mark on Chas in more ways than we can count.

We’ll miss having him around every day, but we’re very happy his connection with Chas continues, and there’s still plenty of his creative magic yet to come in Christmas 2026. ✨

Here’s to the next chapter, AZ. 🥂

Big hair, big hits and some very questionable 80s knowledge. 🎶🍕😂

The Chas team recently came together for a virtual 80s Trivia Night, complete with pizza, drinks, plenty of laughs and some friendly interstate competition.

It was a great excuse to switch off from work for a couple of hours, catch up across our state teams and enjoy a bit of fun together.

Safe to say, some of us knew the 80s a little too well… and may have accidentally revealed our vintage. 😉

A return to the familiar. 🎄
As our Head of Growth & Marketing, Jason Sole, recently shared, people are looking for experiences that feel warmer, more familiar and more connected.
It’s not about looking backwards. It’s about creating Christmas experiences that feel right for the moment, connect with people and continue to deliver value beyond the season.
