2025 Easter School Holidays Program Released
These school holidays, be sure to hop along to our fantastic Easter program of activities for kids of all ages!
The Ararat Library, Fitness Centre, Town Hall, Ararat Gallery TAMA, and Alexandra Gardens are all hosting events across the school break, including a special Nature Play Day on Tuesday 8 April for some outdoor autumn fun.
At the library, kids can get acquainted with our newly refurbished space at one of our ever-popular Movie Monday events (April 7 and 14), get building at the Extended Lego Sessions (April 10 and 17), get immersed in multi-player PS5 titles at our ‘Game On!’ event (April 9) or get creative with Easter-themed crafts on April 16. There are no bookings required for the library’s events.
The Intensive Swimming Program will return to Ararat Fitness Centre across the holidays’ first week, while a pool party and futsal clinic are both scheduled for April 8. April 9 will see the excellent netball clinic NETFIT arrive at the centre. Please check the Events section of the Council website for details on bookings for swim clinic and netball activities.
Ararat Gallery TAMA will be conducting a Nature Play Community Wall and Activity Station every day of the holidays (except April 17), and on April 18 there’ll be a drop-in craft session.
On April 5, families can attend acclaimed theatre show Velveteen Rabbit at the Town Hall, and on April 14 the Hall will host two ‘Paint What You Hear’ sessions. Bookings are required for both of these events; please visit ararattownhall.com.au for details.
Nature Play Day will present a variety of exciting outdoor activities on April 8, including nature walks, a scavenger hunt, bush craft, watercolour painting, clay play activities and more.
