In the Plaza
Miffy Learns to Count Stage Show - 11.30 am & 1.30 pm on both days
Miffy has been to the market on an errand for her mother. She had to go to the vegetable stall and buy some carrots. Numbers aren’t Miffy’s strong point and because she has lost her shopping list, she could not remember how many carrots to buy. With the help of her friend Susie, can Miffy figure out how many carrots her Mother wanted her to buy for dinner?
Miffy Meet & Greet - 12.30 pm on both days
Our Miffy Meet & Greet lets children and adults alike get up close and personal with this lovable character for a caring wave and memorable photo opportunity.

In the Gallery
miffy & friends Exhibition - 10.00 am - 5.00 pm on both days (separate bookings essential)
miffy & friends pairs original Bruna drawings and illustrations with early book covers and posters, through to the iconic figure of Miffy. The exhibition celebrates Bruna's underlying philosophy of allowing room for the imagination, and introduces the influence of Miffy on the work of seven contemporary Australian artists. It teases out concepts that Bruna and other artists have grappled with over the ages, including colour, line and form, and brings these ideas to audiences to instil a love of art, as Bruna did over his lifetime.
Curator Walk-and-Talk: miffy & friends - 3.00 pm on both days (separate bookings essential)
Join miffy & friends curator Vanessa Van Ooyen for a curator’s walk and talk through the Gallery where the ideas, themes, and artworks of miffy & friends will be explored and discussed.
