Families in Upper Mt Gravatt now have a go-to local destination for free children’s entertainment as the Newnham Hotel transforms its grounds into a dedicated activity centre for the Easter break.
The hotel has arranged for a variety of interactive stations to keep younger residents busy throughout the working week. From Monday to Friday, children can visit specifically designed craft tables intended to encourage creativity while parents relax in the nearby dining areas.
These daily sessions provide a structured way for families to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the suburb, making use of the venue’s open-air beer gardens and communal spaces.
As the holidays move into the weekend, the style of entertainment shifts toward live performance and interactive art. Professional face painters and balloon artists will be on-site to provide free entertainment for visiting families during the Saturday and Sunday sessions.
To accommodate the expected increase in local visitors, the venue has moved to an all-day dining schedule on these days, serving traditional pub meals from morning through to the evening. These additions are part of a broader effort to provide local parents with accessible options for holiday childcare and family bonding.
