School Holiday Fun: September School Holiday Programme

The spring school holidays will see The Arts Centre bursting with sweet fun and creative energy! Kids can follow the Lolly Trail around The Arts Centre, completing six fun challenges to earn a tasty reward* at Mrs Bumbleberry’s Lolly Shop. Drop into Fudge Cottage to decorate your own fudge shape or craft colourful candy charms at the Sculpt-a-Lolly Workshop using polymer clay.

But the fun doesn’t stop there!

With over 50 workshops, performances and events, there’s something to excite every young mind. Step into the world of theatre with The Orange Box or get hands-on in Call of the Kraken and Tiny Seed drama and music workshops. Budding artists can join Paint & Sip sessions, design a ceramic mug, or try Stitch and Create embroidery.

There are circus classes, a junk band jam, instrument making, and African drumming, plus family-friendly films at Lumière Cinemas. Science lovers can launch rockets in Ōtautahi’s Next Top Rocket, or hunt for legendary mini figures in Outrageous Olympians.

Whether it’s art, music, drama, circus, science, or sweet treats – this is the ultimate creative school holiday programme!

Events are a mix of free and ticketed.
