BE MERRY WITH SMITH & CAUGHEY'S WINDOW DISPLAY Get into the Yuletide spirit under the twinkling lights of Smith & Caughey's flagship store. Every year a Christmas story is brought to life on Queen Street, with a sprinkle of magic for good measure. Last year the display was named fifth best in the world; this year we reckon they're a contender for first place.
Open from October 28
