“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“I don’t know… I haven’t tried everything yet!”
Join Sam on a fun, slapstick adventure to work out what you could be when you grow up! What would you be if you could choose anything? Desk job or truck? hi-vis or scrubs? There are so many ways you could spend your days.
Tumbling, juggling and serious silliness fill this all-ages show that wants to answer once and for all, what is your dream job?
Are you good with kids? You could be a teacher! But maybe you want to travel? You could be a pilot! But maybe you want to work with your hands? A builder then! Throughout this family show, Sam is going to try every job they have ever dreamed of!
The Fédération Internationale de Pen Licence Licensing (FIPLL) has issued an urgent statement: illegal pen use by adults (sans pen licence) has reached PENdemic levels, resulting in sloppy, uneven, and unreadable handwriting. FIPLL recognises the critical need to bring adult pen use under our strict regulatory control.
In response, FIPLL has granted pen licences to all young people aged 18 and under, officially designating them as FIPLL Special PENvoys. This grants them sole authority to issue—or revoke—Pen Licences for anyone over 18.
Assessments take place at our Random Pen Testing facilities and through the support of various (unnamed) International Federations; FIPPL will be utilising M.A.R. (Microphone Assistant Referee) Technology to ensure the integrity of the testing process in support of our Special PENvoys and their final verdict: PASS or FAIL.
You should pencil this in your diary… neatly.
Perfect for curious minds, kids (and adults!) love our Science and Sound sessions. Two musicians from the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, alongside a TSO educator, explore the science of sound.
Curriculum-aligned and full of curiosity, this interactive concert invites children to explore the science behind sound, and discover how different instruments bring it to life.
Children will make predictions based on what they learn, helping to spark curiosity about music making and the science that underpins it.
Australia is home to over 210 snake species, three of which live right here in Tasmania.

This is a free event and no registration is required for spectators. To participate please register for you and your hound.
WONDERGROUND is a dedicated space for families and children, designed and brought to life by local visual artist and educator Laura Watts.
The space has grown over the year through Laura’s residency at West Launceston Primary, with generous support from the Tasmanian Community Fund, where she’s worked with students in grades 2 to 6 to develop the ideas behind it. Now she brings that same spirit into the festival hub, with an emphasis on nature, sensory play, and handmade keepsakes.
Rev your engines at the Vroom Vroom race track, build a hideout in Cubbyland, craft wound and woven keepsakes, mix up something magical at the apothecary, or whisper your worries to a Pocket Monster. Braver grown-ups can even let a pint-sized tattoo artist ink them up, temporarily, at Tatts by Kids. Badge-making, drawing, and make-one-take-one crafts round things out, because in Wonderground, every corner has something new to discover.
While our littlest festival-goers are busy making gallery-worthy artworks, accompanying adults are welcome to watch the magic unfold, roll up their sleeves and join in.
Stay tuned for a detailed WONDERGROUND schedule.
