Busy hands make happy hearts.

Step into a world of imagination at Crafty Kids’ Lab – a fun-filled space bursting with hands-on activities where you can make, create and unleash your creativity! Will you make your very own bear buddy? Publish your own storybook? Or bring a winged wonder to life? Maybe all three!

Bear Buddies

Prolific textile artist Cat Rabbit leads an engaging draw-a-bear workshop, where kids can create their own unique bear and add it to the Wall of Bears!

Storybook Station

Led by Kids’ Own Publishing, this workshop lets kids write, illustrate and publish their very own story as a handcrafted eight-page booklet.

Winged Wonders

A colourful aviary awaits with award-winning children’s writer and illustrator Anna Walker, as she guides young creators to craft their very own paper bird to take home and treasure.

Your ticket grants you access to either the morning or the afternoon session of the Crafty Kids' Lab. Entry for the morning session will be available from 9.30am to 11.00am, and will conclude at 11.30am. Entry for the afternoon session will be available from midday to 1.30pm, and will conclude at 2.00pm.

To experience all three creative workshops, we recommend arriving at the start of each session to make the most of your time.
