Wanting to keep the kids busy over the school holidays? Why not visit the Sydney Children’s Festival presented by Carriageworks. Commencing 27th September through to 09th October 2010, the Festival has activities everyday (except Sunday) from 10am – 4pm. The best part of all, the kids will be kept occupied and your back pocket won’t be burnt with at least 75% of the activities being free. Over 200 artists and an expected crowd of 17,000 kids are expected to visit over the 12 days and you can enjoy art and crafts, creatures, characters, stories and loads more. As it can get quite busy, it is recommended that you pre-book your tickets for certain performances and activities.
