Inspired by Disney, Canal Walk sets the scene for a creative crafting summer holiday season
Canal Walk will once again be a centre of crafty creativity during the summer holidays, with a selection of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and the brand-new Disney movie Encanto inspired craft kits on offer for imaginative minds and busy hands.
Aimed at kids between the ages of 4-12 years old, sessions will run every 30 minutes running from 10am to 6pm. Aside from a selection of crafting kits on offer, additional puzzle games will also be in the crafting area for all to enjoy.
The Family Festive Fun craft area will be in Canal Walk’s Centre Court from 15 December 2021 to 9 January 2022. Tickets cost R55 per craft and will be available from Webtickets or the box office at the event area.
Craft kits include pencil holders, bracelets & necklaces, keyrings & magnets, Christmas decorations and windmills. Featuring various of the Disney Princess, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters.
