Inspired by Disney, Canal Walk sets the scene for a creative crafting summer holiday season

Canal Walk will once again be a centre of crafty creativity during the summer holidays, with a selection of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and the brand-new Disney movie ’Encanto’ inspired craft kits on offer for imaginative minds and busy hands.

Aimed at kids between the ages of four to 12-years-old, sessions will run every 30 minutes running from 10am to 6pm. Aside from a selection of crafting kits on offer, additional puzzle games will also be in the crafting area for all to enjoy.

The Family Festive Fun craft area will be in Canal Walk’s Centre Court from now until 9 January. Tickets cost R55 per craft and will be available from Webtickets or the box office at the event area.

Photos with Santa will be available at 10am to 6pm until December 24 in the centre court.

Craft kits include pencil holders, bracelets and necklaces, key-rings and magnets, Christmas decorations and windmills, featuring various of the Disney Princess, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters.

Strict Covid-19 rules will be implemented during this event.

A further reason to smile, are the random acts of kindness the centre will be bestowing on ticket holders, some of whom who will receive some extra special kindness, like spot Disney give-aways and vouchers.
