Ditching the traditional festive tinsel and baubles, the initiative kicked off in 2019 and is is a proud partnership with makers and creatives from across the continent. The SABRE PR awards, which recognises superior achievement in branding, reputation and engagement, awarded the Waterfront a Certificate of Excellence for the campaign. Read the announcement here.

MARINE WILDLIFE WALK TAKES VISITORS ON THE WILD SIDE OF OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD The V&A Waterfront neighbourhood is a place where humans and animals coexist. And now, visitors can come and spot both feathered and furry friends who call our neighbourhood home on our Marine Wildlife Walk. Taking place across the precinct you’ll have the chance to see seals, seagulls and schools of fish in the waters. The walk showcases our contribution to sustainability, wildlife and biodiversity conservation, and also aims to highlight the important work carried out through our Wildlife Management Programme.
