Yarra Ranges Council is offering engaging activities, performances and workshops at affordable prices for students and families of the community during the upcoming school holidays.
Performance highlights include a magical adventure from Loose Ends, involving gadgets, monsters, science and technology; some shadow and hand puppetry fun from Spike the Echidna; and cheeky, side-splitting stand-up comedy from Australia’s number one Indigenous entertainer, Sean Choolburra.
The workshops include a super fun Bollywood dance class; an interactive workshop demonstrating ‘spinning around’ objects kids can make, decorate and test-fly; as well as the always popular kids’ pottery classes.
