Brisbane School Holidays

Keep the kids active during the School Holidays in and around Brisbane.

As parents ourselves we understand the joys (and challenges) of school holidays. For working parents, this can be a real juggling act. Fortunately, there are so many amazing options for School Holiday Care, School Holiday Classes, and School Holiday Camps available. Although things are limited these school holidays there is plenty of safe fun to be had.

The School Holidays are a great time to try a new activity, learn new skills in an activity that they already love, get out and about, catch up with friends and visit somewhere new in and around Brisbane.

Our online directory is the perfect tool to search for fun and family-friendly school holiday classes, activities and fun days out in your area.

Events, Festivals and Live Shows

Emil and the Detectives (QPAC 14 – 18 July, 2021)

Emil and the Detectives comes to QPAC next month in an outstanding piece of children’s theatre featuring a streetwise city kid and a sinister stranger.

Based on Erich Kästner’s 1929 novella, this story broke ground for the independent-children-versus-devious-adults genre. This production is an uplifting, riveting and empowering look at the value of teamwork and friendships, taking risks, and the empowerment of young people. A theatrical delight for young and old, not to be missed.

Swamp Juice (QPAC 6 – 19 July, 2021)

Using jaw dropping shadow puppets made from household objects and bits of rubbish, acclaimed Bunk Puppets puppeteer Jeff Achtem creates a wildly imaginative gurgling adventure about life in a swamp.

This award-winning favourite of family audiences and critics has toured the world and comes to QPAC this June, with an out of this world 3D shadow puppet finale that will leave you spellbound.

Potted Potter (3 – 8 August, 2021)

Potted Potter – The Unauthorized Harry Experience takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real life game of Quidditch) into seventy hilarious minutes. Even if you don’t know the difference between a horcrux and a Hufflepuff, POTTED POTTER will make you roar with laughter.

Larrikin Puppets performs colourful and exciting puppet shows and interactive puppetry workshops featuring zany characters and catchy songs, live and online. They have just released a fun, catchy debut music EP for kids aged 3-7, available to listen and download.
