Castlemaine Community House, Castlemaine Pride and Mount Alexander Shire Council have partnered with All the Queens Men to bring Play Date to Castlemaine!

Just in time for the school holidays, pop duo Turtle and Sugar Rush from Play Date bring you the ultimate dance and play party; where you and your little ones can boogie down together.

In this colourful adventure through stories of identity, body positivity and the power of imagination, Turtle and Sugar Rush from Play Date lead the ultimate dance party for children and their ‘chosen’ families.

Perfect for children aged two to seven, Play Date encourages singing and dancing like no-one’s watching, and the chance for children, their Carers and accompanying Adults to learn and enjoy Auslan inclusive dance moves.

As part of Senior's Festival, seniors (60+) get free entry and are encouraged to attend and have a boogie with their grandkids!

It’s guaranteed to give you a rush and encourage you to come out of your shell.

But wait, there’s more…

Before the show you are invited to share in a treasure trove of craft time. Make your own rainbow crown, fruit salad headpiece, shiny gold crown or your own colouring-in map for Play Date adventures.
