Wednesday 18th December - Tuesday 23rd December

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 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.
