The September school holidays (NSW 25 Sept – 6 Oct, QLD 16 Sep – 2 Oct) are a popular time to visit Byron. The weather is warming up, both holiday periods catch the Byron Bay Markets and the Bangalow Markets, plus its still whale spotting season.

Here are a few school holiday activities to consider, and be sure to browse our Byron Bay accommodation guide for a family-friendly place to stay.

Circus Arts Byron Bay – KIDS & TEENS SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS

Circus Arts Byron Bay is the place to be during school holidays! Our holiday programs offer a comprehensive timetable of activities during both the QLD and NSW school holidays.

Circus Arts Byron Bay boasts a beautiful indoor venue with an incredible variety of apparatus to learn on. We pack the programs with fun circus activities including acrobatics and a swing on the high flying trapeze (for those who dare). We even have a cafe on site and an optional add-on lunchbox so everything is taken care of.
