A Festival of Arts, Imagination & Adventures is back!
We The Young returns these September School Holidays, with a festival created especially for children.
Celebrating the curious, wise, creative and adventurous, the festival is full of experiences, activities and entertainment across two action-packed weeks.
This year you’re invited to...
Get creative and let your imagination soar with magic, DIY robots, cardboard creations. Sing your heart out with live music, and kitchen chaos & more! Get curious with immersive light worlds, sensory play, puppetry and stories that spark big ideas. Join the adventure of musical mishaps, circus feats, and unforgettable theatrical journeys. Get wise as you have your say, cast your vote and discover the power of your voice.
With over 25 incredible shows, events and experiences, and more than half are completely FREE.
Whether you're a toddler, tween or somewhere in between, there's something for every age, stage and creative spark. And grown-ups, you're invited too.
So, get inspired, grab your tickets, mark your calendar and get ready.
It's going to be awesome!
