What’s On At The Grounds

We can’t hold it back anymore, we need to let it go…

FROZEN 2 IS AT THE GROUNDS, THIS CHRISTMAS!

In celebration of Disney’s cinema release of Frozen 2, The Grounds of Alexandria is transforming into a magical place where you’ll wander through an enchanted forest and into a world of icy crystals. Within the immersive Frozen 2 experience, you’ll be as happy as Olaf on a Summer’s day feasting on tasty themed treats and capturing memorable photos at every turn. If you’re lucky, you might even catch Queen Elsa and Princess Anna for a selfie.

Frozen 2 at The Grounds will be open to the public from 28th November through to January 2020 — entry is free. Hoo-hoo! It’s going to be a big Summer blowout!

Santa will be calling The Grounds of Alexandria home again until Christmas Eve and his workshop will be open from 9am – 4pm every day for photos with the whole family (pets included!). Your session with Santa includes a 5×7 photo print and USB of all your pics.

The festive season is fast approaching and there is nothing better than gifting something handmade to your loved ones.

BUT, handmade can be hard, right? Don’t panic, we’re here to get you started and teach you a new skill along the way. This November and December we are hosting Christmas Candle Making Workshops (think cinnamon, spicy, fruity dreams!)

Designed for beginners, this 2-hour workshop will teach you the process of candle making from beginning to end. You will leave with 2 festive 100% soy candles (which you can gift to someone or keep for yourself – we promise we won’t tell), plus a bunch of new skills and knowledge so that you can keep creating at home.

Curious Studios is getting festive during the months of November and December!

We LOVE receiving handmade Xmas gifts. Throw a handmade card in the mix and you’ve scored yourself an 11/10. Because Christmas and craft excite us so much, we’re putting a spin on our much loved Watercolour Workshop; Watercolour Chrissy Cards baby!

No experience with watercolours? No worries, we’ve got you. This workshop is designed for total beginners and all levels are welcome.
