WHAT'S ON IN SHELLHARBOUR - SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN FOR ALL AGES

From kids and teens to babies and toddlers, Shellharbour City Council has plenty to offer the families of Shellharbour over the school holidays.

With inflatable water sports, creative play, games, craft, movie screenings and a range of Seussical fun, you will be sure to find some fun for your kids across the city.

Shellharbour City Acting Mayor Cr Kellie Marsh encouraged people to jump online and discover everything on offer over the Summer break.

“Many of Council’s events and activities are free, which means they often book out, so I recommend reserving a spot as soon as you can to avoid disappointment,” Acting Mayor Cr Marsh said.
