Other activities on offer include:
- Revolting Rhymes story fun
- Enormous Crocodile and Giant Peach craft
- Charlie’s chocolate making workshops
- BFG dream jars workshops
There will also be Comics Lab workshops with comic book creators Rebekah Mazzavato and Tinman Johnson.
Mayor Greg Cummings said with the broad range of activities available across Cumberland, parents are sure to find something fun for their children to participate in.
“Many of our library and community school holiday activities are run free of charge for our residents and they encourage children to be active with their imagination,” Mayor Cummings said.
“On top of the indoor library activities, Council have a range of sporting and recreational options for children including dance workshops, ping pong tournaments, skateboarding workshops and ice skating outings.
“I encourage everyone to make the most of the activities on offer in Cumberland these school holidays.”
