Celebrate your favourite eight-legged friends at Bunjil Place’s Spider Appreciation Day. Inspired by Bunjil Place Gallery’s latest exhibition, Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Spiders of Paradise, children, families and the young at heart can enjoy an afternoon filled with spider-themed activities, all in honour of the beloved arachnid.
Featuring workshops, performances, activities, a mini-beasts encounter and spider film, the afternoon promises to be web-tastic school holiday fun. Bring your own snacks, or enjoy spider-themed food and drinks at Bunjil Place Café.
Finishing with a screening of Inspector Sun, Spider Appreciation Day is your opportunity to celebrate spiders with fellow spider-lovers (and perhaps a few recovering arachnophobes).
Suitable for children aged 5 years + and their families. Parent/Guardian supervision required.
