There is always something on offer in the City for kids and families during school holidays.

There are ticketed events, drop-in sessions, workshops, performances and much more. From arts and crafts, sports, Lego, a puppet show and games - we've got plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied and entertained during the school holidays!
