Powerhouse Castle Hill Family Day is one of the most popular family events of the year, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever on 2 December 2023.

In addition to free activities, tours and workshops inspired by the current "Holidays" exhibition, a highlight will be the Youth Makers Market, presented in collaboration with "Handy with Scissors". This market will be bursting with locally produced original arts and crafts, as well as delicious sweets and treats, all created by talented young makers who have been specially selected to exhibit and sell.

With Christmas just around the corner, the Youth Makers Market is the perfect place to pick up unique, handmade and locally crafted gifts for family and friends. The range and quality of arts and crafts on offer promise something for everyone, for all ages and interests.
