ALL roads lead to Yarrila Place on Saturday, 11 October for three-hours of hands-on and free entertainment.
The Spring Family Fun Day includes a smorgasbord of fun activities perfect for children of all ages and young families.
“There’s always so much to do in Coffs Harbour but this special event will well and truly be a boredom-buster at the end of the school holidays,” Mayor Nikki Williams said.
“The demonstrations and interactive events will be centred on the ground floor of Yarrila Place and flow out into the CBD.”
All-star line-up:
● See the new exhibition STILL: National Still Life Award 2025 at Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM). Follow the STILL children’s trail and design your own spring suncatcher, inspired by still life, to take home. Watch it glow with beautiful spring colours in the sunshine.
● Swing into the new Citizen Science corner at the Harry Bailey Memorial Library for a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) challenge.
● Head along to the Story Space at the library to enjoy an animation or film created in the Digital Studio. Screenings will run on rotation throughout the event.
● Explore the City Centre Street Art Trail. Download the Coffs Coast Explorer App to guide the way. The trail – which starts and finishes at Yarrila Place – is a self-guided experience featuring 15 curated artworks which celebrate the spirit of the Coffs Coast. Continue your day out with exhibitions at Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance and The Laneway Gallery.
“Be sure to pick up your activity planner when you arrive at the welcome station in the atrium area at Yarrila Place,” Museum and Gallery Service Leader Carrie Kibbler said.
“This Super Saturday event will run from 10am to 1pm. Take part in every activity and you’ll go into the draw to win a prize.”
All materials will be supplied and bookings are not required.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
