Get ready for a day packed with dancing, crafts, storytelling, scavenger hunts, and plenty more to explore together. Designed for children aged 0–9 and their grown-ups (with older siblings very welcome too!), it’s a relaxed, joyful day of creativity for the whole family.
This free Family Fun Day features local artists leading hands-on dance sessions, storytelling, crafts, and other fun-filled activities. While activities are created with ages 0–7 in mind, older children will love getting involved as well. Free snacks will be available — just bring your curiosity and come along for the fun!
