Play in an Inspiring way!
Head to Inspire Buttermarket for fun, noisy creative drop-in play sessions in their interactive music room to play in an inspiring way!

Play in an Inspiring way!

Join the Inspire Learning and Music teams throughout the day and have a go at playing a musical instrument you’ve never tried before, create your own curious peg doll characters, make your own dressing-up props, and dress up for a sensational selfie in a giant, Inspire photo frame.

You’ll also have the chance to design your own mathematical game or puzzle with their Multiply team and try your hand at balloon modelling with the Joker entertainers, plus choose from bountiful book stalls filling the mezzanine floor.

Location: Inspire Buttermarket, First Floor (above Tambo Lounge)
