Marvel Crafts and Plush Giveaways Head to Westfield North Lakes

Spider-Man bookmarks, Hulk slime and personalised tote bags are among the free activities heading to Westfield North Lakes, with a small daily giveaway adding another reason for Marvel fans to stop by during the school holidays.



The program runs from 28 September to 3 October, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day, between Concierge and Boost Juice. A different activity is scheduled across the six-day run.

Start with Spider-Man

The week opens with Spider-Man bookmark-making on Monday before switching to Marvel door signs on Tuesday.

From Wednesday to Friday, children can customise their own tote bags, while Hulk slime takes over the final session on Saturday.

The sessions are free and sit within a broader school holiday program at the centre, which also includes other family activities and entertainment.

The prize includes return flights, accommodation and park tickets, while the North Lakes craft program finishes earlier, on Saturday, 3 October.

Mayor Peter Flannery said the program is designed to keep young people active and engaged during the break while creating opportunities to spend time with friends and family.

Alpacas and Hands-On Heritage

Animal lovers can head to selected libraries for the Winter Woollies program. Featuring visits from alpacas and babydoll lambs, the sessions teach children where wool comes from and how it is transformed into everyday products. Families can also watch demonstrations of carding (preparing raw fibres) and spinning yarn.
