Welcome to Wattlebrush School of Bushcraft and Wizardry, where Hogwarts meets the Australian bush! Join us for a school holiday adventure filled with hands-on wizarding classes and outdoor exploration designed for Wiz-kids aged 8-12.

Wizarding Wares: A Magical Market Adventure 🏺✨

Step right up young shopkeepers and spell crafters! Wattlebrush School of Bushcraft and Wizardry invites you to Wizarding Wares, where creativity meets commerce in a bustling marketplace of magical marvels.

Wiz-kids will dive into classic Wattlebrush activities—brewing potions, crafting spells, and mastering bushcraft—while also preparing for the grand Wattlebrush Christmas Market Day. Here, they’ll barter and swap their handmade magical wares with family and friends, learning the value of communication, creativity, and sustainability along the way.

Our Market afternoon will be Thursday 18th December 3pm to 5pm.

What’s in Store?

🐚 Shop Creation – Dream up your own wizarding business! Will you open a potion apothecary, a joke shop filled with magical mischief, a wandmaker’s workshop, or a bookshop selling freshly penned spells?
🔨 Stall Building – Design and decorate a wizarding stall fit for Diagon Alley. Create signs, displays, and magical touches to draw in the most enchanted customers.
🔮 Product Crafting – Craft dazzling magical wares, from trickster charms and enchanted artifacts to spell-scrolls and nature-foraged talismans. Everything is made with a focus on reusing and recycling, ensuring a sustainable and thoughtful wizarding trade.
⚡ Haggling & Bartering – Step into the world of wizard commerce! On Market Day, Thursday 18th, parents and friends will join in the fun, swapping and trading for the best magical finds.

Alongside their shopkeeping adventures, Wiz-kids will still enjoy the Wattlebrush staples—learning bushcraft survival, potion-making with wild ingredients, and engaging in spellbinding wizard duels. It’s an adventure in creativity, sustainability, and magic, all wrapped into one!
