Winterfest is back at Cardinia Cultural Centre (CCC) these winter school holidays with free and low-cost activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Get lost in the interactive world for audiences of all ages that’s created especially for CCC by the Slow Art Collective.
Titled Takenoko Palace, this fantastical exhibition is sure to amaze and delight with the pure joy of colour and texture we see all around us.
Best of all, it’s free and open daily from 9am to 4pm.
The exhibition is the inspiration for this season’s free workshops, which will take place in the mornings around the gallery installations.
Enjoy making your own bogong moth and contribute to artist Sammy Trist’s installation, which will be growing from the second week of the festival.
Step your way into the theatre for a fun-filled ride with Polite Mammals!
Inspired by the chaotic charm of ‘90s kids’ TV, Polite Mammals introduces moret han 20 animal-ish characters in under an hour, from farting skunks and dancing mantises to a singing bin chicken.
It’s silly, surreal, and seriously fun – perfect for anyone who loves a bit of absurd mischief with their school holiday entertainment.
Then, take a turn into the enchanted woods with Hansel and Gretel, a playful reimagining of the classic fairytale.
When the two siblings are sent off by their quirky and overwhelmed stepmother, they find themselves on a magical journey filled with curious creatures, unexpected twists, and a gingerbread house that’s not quite as sweet as it seems.
