School holidays can be a very trying time when you’ve got kids to entertain. We all know the struggle, let’s be real. Well, worry no more about keeping the anklebiters from biting because The Strand has got you covered with a whole bunch of fun (and free!) activities and deals.

The free creative workshops running from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm daily will see kids go home with their very own piece of art, including Plaster Fun from September 19–24 and Sand Art from September 26–30. On Sunday October 2, little ones can get their groove on with free dance classes from Danceland Kids Extravaganza in the Atrium.

Retailers have jumped on board the joy train to help out as well, with hungry little amigos eating for free at Beach Burrito every weekday from 3:00–6:00 pm. BCC Cinemas Coolangatta will be offering exclusive school holiday discounts with $8 child and $10 adult movie tickets to see the Secret Life of Pets, Storks and Pete’s Dragon, with additional offers, activities and giveaways for Cinebuzz members. Timezone will also be offering Ten Pin Bowlers a sweet buy one game and get one free deal.

Fun for the whole family and savings galore? Sorted!
