With school holidays across New South Wales underway, kids around the Yass Valley are getting active in free sports, arts and cultural sessions from archery to beeswax wrap making and movie screenings.

Yass Valley Council has a bunch of great free activities around Yass and the surrounding villages during these school holidays.
Events will be running from Tuesday, 11 April until Monday, 24 April, so there is no excuse for the kids to not get out and about and enjoy their holiday break.
