School Holiday Programmes
We run fun and affordable Oscar-approved holiday programmes for primary school kids at the Brooklyn Community Centre. The programme is packed full of trips and activities to please everyone. Bookings are essential. Prices are dependent on the amount of time spent in the programme and the type of activity each day, but are usually between $25 and $44 per day.
Our April Holiday Programme has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 lockdown period.

Brooklyn Community Markets
Brooklyn Community Centre were due to have the first market of the year on Saturday 28 March. However, given the current situation with Covid-19 and the Government’s advisory on public gatherings, the decision was made to cancel the market. We really hope the market on 20 June will be able to go ahead and will update you through Facebook, our website, the Brooklyn Tattler magazine, Neighbourly and other avenues. In the meantime, please take care, keep an eye out for our vulnerable community members, and please contact us here at the Community Centre if you, or someone you know, requires assistance – or even just a friendly chat – at this uncertain time. Julie, Euan, and the team at Brooklyn Community Centre.
The Brooklyn Markets are held quarterly throughout the year on a Saturday from 12pm – 4pm. Our market dates for 2020 are 20 June, 26 September and 12 December. Catch up with friends and neighbours while browsing through a wide variety of stalls. Everything from homemade pickles to locally baked organic bread, preserves and fresh produce to indoor plants, flowers, herbs, crafts, silver jewellery, cards, vintage clothing, CDs and lots more. Plus local knife sharpener, Andrew Bennett will be on the deck sharpening knifes, scissors and gardening tools.
Live music throughout the afternoon with the Dark Chocolate Jazz Trio.
Great coffee, smoothies and a BBQ on the deck, plus for the kids, face painting and a giant bouncy castle in the playground.
Everybody welcome.
