Convent Kids Pop Up | November

Discover a series of workshops for kids as the perfect addition to the Regional Farmers Market, inspired by the much-loved Smörgåsbord series,

This month features First Nations-led experiences, including the return of Bubup Bush Tucker, followed by a midday session of Cultural Games.

10am – 11am session | Bubup Bush Tucker

Little ones are invited to touch, smell and taste a range of traditional Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung native plants and bush foods. Discover their delicious smells, interesting textures and how they have been used for generations.

They'll get an introduction to Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung language, and discover how the changing seasons shape life on Country. A hands-on adventure full of nature, stories and discovery!

11.30am – 12.30pm session | Cultural Games

Take part in a range of traditional cultural games, including Marngrook, a traditional Aboriginal ball game. Through playful activities, kids will discover the stories, traditions and connections to Country that are an important part of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung culture.

Both workshops will be led by Remi Donnison (Educator, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation). You can choose which workshop you'd like to attend, or come along for both in a full day of First-Nations fun!

Please note, children must be accompanied by a guardian at all times.
