About the Event
Join us at the MARC for a free family fun day as we launch our new campaign, The MARC of a Great Childhood.
This is the perfect chance for families to explore everything the MARC has to offer - from the MARC Swim School and Recreational Gymnastics to Action Tots, crèche sessions, birthday parties, children's sports, fitness classes and more. With activities running across the whole centre, PLUS FREE POOL ENTRY from 9am to 12pm, children can experience the magic of the MARC first-hand, and parents can learn more about term programs and enrolments for 2026.
