The Bribie Island Hotel is transforming the traditional pub experience into a full-scale community playground to help local parents keep their children entertained for free during the Easter school holidays.
A New Way to Holiday at the Local
The move to bring high-energy entertainment into the local bistro comes as more families look for affordable ways to enjoy their time off together without leaving their own neighbourhood. While many people usually head to the city for professional magic shows and character events, this coastal venue is bringing that same level of excitement directly to the residents of Bellara.
By blending classic pub hospitality with structured kids’ programming, the hotel is acting as a central meeting point where parents can relax in sun-filled beer gardens while their children participate in organised fun just a few steps away.
Easter Magic and Character Visits
The holiday schedule is built around high-interaction activities that go beyond the standard playground equipment. On Easter Sunday, the venue will host a themed afternoon where the Easter Bunny will appear alongside famous characters from Alice in Wonderland starting at 1 pm.
This specific event is designed to create a festive atmosphere for families dining during the holiday weekend. The hotel staff have organised the appearances to ensure children can meet their favourite storybook figures in a safe and familiar environment.
Diverse Entertainment for All Ages
Beyond the holiday weekend, the hotel has planned a rotating calendar of events to ensure no two visits feel the same for returning families. The lineup includes everything from high-energy dance parties and professional magic shows to quieter creative sessions like face painting and balloon twisting. For older children, the pub is hosting interactive game shows and mini-games that encourage friendly competition.
These activities are provided at no extra cost to patrons, providing a practical solution for local families looking to balance their holiday budgets with the need for quality outdoor social time.
