Note: Spots are limited to 15 participants.
As this event is designed especially for children, we kindly ask families to limit the number of accompanying adults to one adult per child. This helps us prioritise children's participation and make the best use of our limited space. Maximum 15 participants in total, including children and accompanying adults.
We hope to see you there and celebrate together!
