9) Art Explorers
25th May
What: Art Explorers (formerly Toddler Tuesday) uses games, singing and storytelling to encourage children aged 3 – 5 years, along with their parents and carers, to have fun while learning about art. Each session explores a single artwork in the Gallery’s of Modern Art’s collection.
Why: In terms of liability, if your toddler ingests a mass quantity of paint while you’re not looking, you might not be legally responsible for their death.

7) Graze Lunch
29th May
What: Cloudland’s Graze is the only way to ‘lunch’ on a Saturday afternoon and it’s back for a big summer event! Step out and settle in with a grazing-style lunch menu, featuring bottomless beverages. Nestle into Cloudland’s urban oasis and indulge yourself this weekend.
Why: It says something about the non-pandemic-related consequences of living in the 21st Century that at first we thought the last sentence in the above description contained a nonsensical trademark violation of a mass slavery outfit.

6) Mansfield State High Celtic Ensemble
25th May
What: Experience the beauty and excitement of Celtic melodies as the Mansfield State High School Advanced Celtic Ensemble and voices from the Chorale present ‘Celtic Soul’. You will be inspired as dance and toe tapping jigs are experienced in this concert.
Why: Bonus points for claiming a Celtic heritage whilst eyeing everyone present that doesn’t look white enough to be there.
5) World Play Day Celebration
29th May
What: Come and join in the unlimited free kids activities, messy play, jumping castle, face painting, and purchase a sausage, drink or popcorn to help support the Brisbane South Toy Library.
Why: Remember why you had kids. The tax benefits. Just keep repeating that to yourself as your progeny screams at you whilst s****ing themselves.

On top of that, indulge in a cheese board featuring your choice of two of pave d’affinois double cream, Quickes cloth cheddar and Berrys Creek Tarwin blue plus lavosh, quince, dried fruit & grapes.

1) Happy Daze
28th-30th May

Why: In other words: quality drugs.
