Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles

Next date: Wednesday, 28 January 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Collins Court will be transformed into a sparkling, playful, bubble-filled wonderland for young people and their families.

Enjoy swirling clouds of bubbles, an original lush soundtrack by some of Hobart’s most loved musicians, and hands-on bubble-inspired activities led by local artists.

Designed for children aged two to ten, this joyful, interactive event invites young adventurers to pop, explore, create, and play in the heart of the city.

All children require adult supervision at all times.

Times

There will be two sessions to enjoy, each lasting an hour and a half, which allows plenty of time to play and explore. Capacity permitting, you are welcome to drop in anytime during the session and stay for as long as you like.

Session one is from 11 am to 12.30 pm
Session two is from 1.30 pm to 3 pm

The event will be closed for a break between each of the sessions.
