Indoors

The Vikings are Coming

Made up of multiple drop-in-style events this program will be running all school holidays through the Museum of the Great Southern’s Discovery Centre.

The Warrior Workshop is a special event running on April 3 and 10 which will require a booking and will cost $10.

Granny Grommet and Me

Celebrating her newly relaunched book, local author Dianne Wolfer will be at the Albany Public Library on Thursday April 4 to read and do a craft day inspired by her popular book, Granny Grommet and Me.

Kids will have the chance to meet the person behind the story and get creative with a tropical fish stained glass crafting activity.

Bush Magic School Holiday Workshops

Hosted by the Vancouver Arts Centre on April 10 and 11, these workshops will show kids the wonders and beauty of the Australian bush as they create their small masterpieces by decorating leaves and nuts.

Outside

Youth Fest

If you’re chasing some fun in the sun, Denmark’s Youth Festival at McLean Park on April 5 could be the way to go.

With skateboarding and mountain biking competitions, lawn games the chance to chat with friendly youth staff and a whole lot more, there’ll be something for everyone.

Story Walk Tjuirtgellong

Meanwhile, if you want to learn more about our native plants and wildlife you can visit Tjuirtgellong (Lake Seppings) for the Story Walk.

Featuring David Gullan and Suzanne Houghton’s story Life in a Hollow, the walk will be a great way to get some fresh air and learn why tree hollows are so important.
