Lights, camera, action! We are delighted to invite you to join us for an unforgettable school holiday adventure as we celebrate the magic of movies through art, creativity, imagination, and hands-on making.
Over nine exciting days, our artists, builders, designers, dreamers, and creators will explore some of the most loved movie worlds and storybook characters through a collection of very special projects. From building Super Mario worlds and magnificent Minions to creating enchanted Magic Faraway Trees, Dr Seuss sculptures, spy cases, Wicked Emerald Cities, and so much more, every day offers a unique opportunity for children to immerse themselves in a world of creativity.
St Leo’s School Hall | 4 Owens Road, Devonport
Start/Finish Times
9:00am - 3:00pm
The best place to drop off and pick up your treasure is through the school gates on Owens Road. Parents can drive right in and park by the playground.
Marbles Café
We have a fabulous new menu available for our children, with plenty of variety and all their favourite treats. We make sure there's something for everyone to enjoy and are mindful of individual dietary needs, including options for gluten-free children.
Wheels / Sports (during break times)
Children are very welcome to bring their bikes or scooters to Marbles! We’ll have a designated area set up just for riding, safely separated from other play spaces. Don’t forget to bring your helmet!
Orders & Refunds
We truly appreciate every order we receive — thank you so much for supporting our small business!
We understand that plans can change, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate order updates when possible.
If your little treasure is unable to attend, please give our team at least 24 hours’ notice so we can try to fill their space.
Unfortunately, if we’re notified on the morning of your child’s booking, we’re unable to offer a refund.
We’re also unable to refund sold-out days, as our amazing website team cannot add extra spaces once a day is fully booked.
Come and join us for a wonderful day of building, making, and creating your very own Super Mario world! Inspired by the adventures, challenges, and excitement of this much-loved movie, children will design and construct a unique world filled with imagination and creativity.
Using a huge variety of construction materials, colourful papers, paints, and special decorations, artists will create landscapes, pathways, castles, tunnels, and hidden treasures. To make every creation extra special, we even have shiny gold coins to add to each masterpiece!
Calling all spies and detectives!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create the ultimate spy case packed with everything a top secret investigator needs to solve even the trickiest mysteries.
Each spy case will include equipment for collecting fingerprints and footprints, suspect files, case reports, code-making and code-breaking devices, detective badges, spy identification cards, crime scene tape, and much more. Every participant will even receive their own unique spy name!
Packed full of mystery, adventure, and hands-on fun, this project is perfect for young detectives who love solving clues and uncovering secrets. We can't wait to welcome our newest recruits to Spy Academy.
Follow the yellow brick road to a world of wonder and imagination as we create the most magnificent Emerald Cities inspired by Wicked.
We have already begun constructing these magical cities, but they need the creativity and artistic touch of our talented artists to bring them to life. Paint shimmering towers, decorate dazzling buildings, and add magical details that make your city truly spectacular.
Filled with sparkle, colour, creativity, and imagination, this project promises to transport artists to a magical world where anything is possible.
Our favourite Minions are back, and we couldn't be more excited! Get ready to create the most magnificent Minions imaginable as we spend the day designing, painting, and decorating these loveable characters.
These cheerful creations are guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and a little bit of mischief wherever they go. Each artist will create their own unique Minion filled with personality, colour, and charm.
It's Angry Birds time!
Red, Chuck, Bomb, and all their feathered friends are searching for fabulous new homes, and we need your help. Join us as we design, paint, and decorate the most amazing birdhouses on the planet.
Using a fantastic range of paints, colours, textures, and decorations, children will transform ordinary birdhouses into extraordinary homes worthy of their favourite Angry Birds characters.
It's Dr Seuss Day, and that means fun, fun, fun!
Our artists will begin by painting their very own Cat in the Hat hat before transforming it into an incredible Dr Seuss-inspired sculpture. Once the painting is complete, it's time to build a whimsical world filled with imagination and creativity.
Create colourful Truffula Trees, build your own Lorax, design Green Eggs and Ham, add Thing 1 and Thing 2, Red Fish, Blue Fish, The Cat in the Hat, and all your favourite characters from these beloved stories.
This magical project is packed with colour, creativity, and plenty of Seussian silliness.
It's Movie Time!
We know every artist has a favourite movie, and today is all about celebrating the stories and characters you love most.
Choose from a fantastic range of projects including movie trays, movie clocks, movie cases, and movie canvases. Then personalise your chosen project using images, characters, quotes, colours, and designs inspired by your favourite films.
The time has come to create the most enchanting Magic Faraway Trees imaginable!
Let your imagination soar as you build a magical tree complete with tiny houses, magical characters, secret hideaways, and wonderful details inspired by this timeless story.
If you loved creating toadstools in our previous holiday programme, you are going to absolutely adore this project. We have gathered an incredible range of materials to help bring your magical world to life.
This project is perfect for children who love storytelling, fantasy, and imaginative construction. Every tree will be unique, and every creation will tell its own magical story.
It's Beaver Time!
Join Mabel and create the most adorable, lovable toy beavers you could ever imagine. This special soft-toy making day is perfect for children who love sewing, designing, creating, and crafting.
Artists will learn simple sewing techniques while bringing their very own cuddly beaver to life using soft fabrics, stuffing, and decorative details.
There's something extra special about making a toy with your own hands, especially one you can cuddle all winter long.
