What is Kids Week?

When is Kids Week?

What do kids get out of Kids Week?

·       There are also deals on meals too where kids can eat free in restaurants such as the Rainforest Café, Bella Italia, Maxwells and Sticky Fingers.

·       Plus free kids accommodation and travel courtesy of Superbreak (subject to terms and conditions).

·       Over 40 free show-related activities will take place during the Kids Week fortnight, from sing-alongs, drama classes, dance workshops and question & answers sessions - there is something for everyone.
