Magical weekend for Diggers Rest

A weekend of wonderful magic is coming to Diggers Rest, with free family-friendly activities for all.

The Diggers Rest Magical Weekend event will run on June 25 and 26 with a plethora of events for the community to enjoy.

Activities on the weekend will include a free children’s magic workshop, a pop-up magic show with interactive music act, giant games, free face painting and a dinner show spectacular.

The Magical Morning Kids Workshop will teach participants how to do their own magic tricks in a hands-on, interactive class where each child will receive a bag of tricks to learn and take home.

The magical afternoon pop up show will be held at Cradle Road Park, with special guests Mr Tails and Drongo and the Crow to make magic.

There will also be face painting and treats from Miss Molly’s Coffee and Cupcakes.

Finally, magician, comedian and entertainer Ben Murphy will entertain at Houdini’s Café e Cucina, where tickets will include a three course meal as well as the show.

The event is run by the City of Melton in conjunction with Melton City Much More.

Residents can book in for the events via the City of Melton website.
