Join us in our beautiful Senate Courtyard for outdoor play to celebrate World Children's Day.  

Come and craft with us under the pergola, or settle in for story time in the sunshine. Challenge your family to an egg and spoon race, or a game of badminton. You can build with blocks, practise your skipping, or simply relax with the family. Bring a picnic (without nuts) to make a day of it! 

If you need to cool off or in the case of wet weather, PlayUP will be open as usual from 9am to 4:30pm, with facilitated craft running from 10:30am to 12:30pm.  

We can't wait to see you there. Don't forget your hats and water bottles.
