The Hopgood Theatre will welcome the community for a free Family Fun Day on Saturday 25 October from 1–4pm, celebrating the completion of its $6 million transformation, supported by a state government grant.
The event features a packed program of free activities for all ages, including outdoor entertainment, creative workshops, performances, story time and behind-the-scenes tours.
City of Onkaparinga Mayor Moira Were says families can drop in anytime or stay for the whole afternoon.
“The Hopgood Theatre has long been a cultural hub for our region, and this transformation ensures it will continue to inspire and connect our community for generations to come.
“We invite everyone to come and experience the new-look theatre at our Free Family Fun Day.”
All arts activities at the Family Fun Day are free, with food and drinks available to purchase.
It is also a chance to discover the theatre’s exciting calendar of upcoming shows – delivered through a renewed partnership between the City of Onkaparinga and Country Arts SA.
They include talented comedian Anh Do on 25 November and the internationally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir on 17 February. For more information, visit the theatre website.
