Decorate a Lollipop

Time
11.00AM – 3.00PM
Venue: Pūmanawa Gallery

Get crafty with lollipops then visit the Lolly Shop!
In this free activity, you get to make the world's most wild and wacky cardboard lollipop, then trade it for the real thing (if you wish).
First head to Pūmanawa Gallery where craft materials will be all set up and ready for you. Let your imagination take flight, and once you're happy with your creation, take it downstairs to Mrs Bumbleberry's Lolly Shop. Show Mrs B (or her helpers) your artwork and get a sweet edible version.
You can take home your cardboard lollipop or donate it to the shop where it will adorn the walls.
All ages. Caregiver supervision required.
Explore. Create. Learn. Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre is made for memories.
This event is part of The Arts Centre's School Holiday Fun happening between the 26 Sep-11 Oct 2026.
