Events to keep kids busy

Macedon Ranges council is hosting a range of events and activities throughout the June/July school holidays including live shows, workshops, exhibitions and more.

Council announced the free and ticketed activities will take place from June 24 to July 3, with various events taking place at the Kyneton Town Hall.

Director community Maria Weiss encouraged young people and parents to register their interest now, with most events requiring booking in advance.

“We know how hard it can be coming up with ideas to keep children and young people entertained over the school holidays,” Ms Weiss said.

“This program provides a range of fun and cost-effective activities locally for children of all ages to get involved in.”

The free Hanging Rock Art Exhibition will be held on July 1, at the discovery centre and will feature artwork from the single-use plastics art competition.

The exhibition aims to show the impacts of single use plastic and consists of more than 240 entries from early learning, kindergarten, primary and secondary school-aged students.

Music industry workshops will also be held in morning and afternoon sessions from June 27 to June 29, at the Kyneton youth portable.

The workshops are for residents aged 12 to 18 years old and will teach foundational knowledge in lighting, photography, sound and booking a gig.

Gisborne Aquatic Centre will run intensive swimming programs throughout the holidays, and a pool inflatable will be available on various days, featuring obstacles, climbing hills and slides.
