Celebrate wonder, curiosity, fun, knowledge and learning at the Melton Learning Festival.

Bookings have opened for over 30 free workshops in the week-long festival from September 2 to 9.

From young adventurers to seasoned knowledge-seekers, this festival has something for everyone.

Help kick the festival off on Saturday September 2 at Melton Library and Learning Hub, with live music, face painting, henna painting, a magic show, live butterflies and complimentary food and coffee.

In the week following try something different with an Introduction to Disc Golf class, learn something new with a cultural awareness workshop, and rediscover old hobbies with intergenerational craft.

There’ll also be musical adventures, butterflies in the library, art workshops, magic shows, and plenty more across the Melton and Caroline Springs Libraries.

Melton Mayor Lara Carli said the festival takes learning out of the classroom and into kitchens, gardens, community centres and libraries.

“Try something new, or re-discover old hobbies in many fun, free activities near you,” she said.

“With everything from author talks to honey pairing workshops, what will you learn this Learning Festival?”

The full program and details on how to book are available online.
