Event information
Liberty Promenade's winter school holiday activation returns for 2026 in expanded form, occupying the old cinema space in the centre's Food District. Glow Studio: Create. Illuminate is a UV-lit creative studio where children and parents can paint, splash, spray and create under neon lighting across a range of hands-on stations.
The space includes giant glow walls, neon paint zones, an infinity mirror room and creative activity stations, all set to music. The format is designed for families to participate together. There is no minimum age, though children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Clothing that can get paint on it is recommended.
A portion of each ticket sold goes towards art supplies for a local NPO or daycare centre in an underserved community in the Mitchell's Plain area. Visitors can also enter a snap-and-win competition by posting photos or videos using #LPGlowStudio on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok, with four R500 Liberty Promenade gift cards to be won. No booking is required; tickets are available at the registration desk, with cash and card accepted.
