All activities, materials, snacks and lunch are included.

Booking for both days? Simply purchase a 2 Day Ticket on either day's event page. We will then manually add your child to the register for both days, so you only need to book once.

What will we be doing?

Led by Amanda Drago from Green Croft Arts and Em Switzer from Hope in Nature, our Activity Club offers a welcoming, supportive environment where children can explore, get creative, make friends and have fun.

Activities will include:

• Willow lantern making – make your own star lantern and help create a giant centrepiece for the Gilsland Lantern Parade on Friday 27 November.

• Nature-inspired arts and crafts – explore natural materials and get creative.

• Yoga, dance and movement games – have fun, build confidence and work together.

• Outdoor adventures and free play – explore nature, take safe risks and follow your imagination.

• Campfire cooking – help prepare delicious, healthy lunches using our campfire or pizza oven, including homemade pizzas, flatbreads, soups and roasted vegetables.

• Relaxation and quiet time – time to rest and recharge after a busy day.

Activities will be adapted to suit different ages and abilities, with a quiet, calm space available throughout the day.
