About the Event

Since its inception, Little Splendour has been a standout feature of Splendour in the Grass, giving young festival-goers a world of their own to explore. Partnering with the festival organisers, Kidzklub Australia transformed a dedicated area within the site into a vibrant children’s wonderland, complete with its own huge sand pit, dressup and story telling tipi, 2 arts and crafts tents, giant games, jumping castles, facepainting and loads of stage and roving performers. Designed for all aged children Little Splendour ran throughout the entire festival, offering families the freedom to enjoy the music and atmosphere of the main event knowing they could pop back to Little Splendour to keep their kids happy, creative and entertained.

What We Delivered

Kidzklub created and managed the full Little Splendour experience from design and setup to daily programming, safety management and pack down. Our team delivered a complete mix of creative workshops, physical play, entertainment and childcare designed to engage children of all ages and interests.

Art & Craft Workshops
Children discovered their creative side at the Artie Fartie Partie, experimenting with painting, collage, stencilling, mask-making, beading and eco-glitter. Using recycled and natural materials encouraged up-cycling and environmental awareness.

Graffiti Wall
The fence surrounding Little Splendour became a living canvas as children painted, rolled and stamped their own designs, turning the area into a collaborative work of art.

Workshops and Activities
Across the festival, our team hosted daily programmed workshops including clay sculpting, hula hoop making, juggling ball making, kooky pet rocks, key ring crafts and flower collage sessions.

Giant Games and Music Wall
Families played life-size versions of Connect Four, Jenga and Chess while the Music Wall let kids create their own rhythms using an assortment of recycled instruments.

Storytelling Tipi and Playground
Our storytelling space became a haven for imagination and laughter, featuring face painting, dress-ups and puppet shows alongside sandpits and sports equipment for active play.

Live Performances and Roving Characters
The magic of the festival came alive through stilt walkers, jugglers and aerial performers, joined by beloved characters like pirates, mermaids, fairies and King Neptune.

Babysitting Club
For parents wanting to see a headline act or unwind, Kidzklub managed the Little Splendour Babysitting Club, a secure, fully supervised night service staffed by qualified childcare professionals. Children enjoyed movies, games, art and stories while parents relaxed knowing their kids were safe.
