Feel the Christmas spirit in July - Yulefest
 
'Yulefest' is a popular Blue Mountains tradition.  You can enjoy Yulefest at Jenolan Caves House - log fires, warm smiles, festive food and the feeling of Christmas.
 
Jenolan Caves is a great place to visit in winter. No matter how frosty it is outside, the caves are a constant 15-16 degrees, perfect for exploring. Treat your children to a festive Yulefest dinner in the grand, traditional dining room (with live entertainment) and your children can visit Santa inside a cave (and receive a gift) - something they will always remember.
