Photo from yesterday! Sticks Stones Broken Bones ran in our Town Hall Theatre - a playful world of shadow puppetry, appearing as live cartoons, full of oddball characters and surreal events.

An audience member yesterday said: “I think I had more fun than my kids!”

Today is your last chance to catch all that’s in store at MBFF.

Festival running from 1pm - 4pm. Come on down to the Brunswick Town Hall!

You make up the story… The catch is - everyone else does too! What ridiculousness occurs when everybody is making up the same story? Can Ailsa and Robbie wrangle a plot from the chaos – all with a live music score?

Two workshops down and tonnes more to go!

Did you know on Saturday and Sunday we’re turning the Brunswick Library into bustling festival precinct with tonnes of free or low cost activities on offer for families!

Including our very own Scavenger Hunt! Explore the Library precinct with a scavenger hunt devised by Coburg artist Brendan Brown.

You'll need a smartphone, and a good set of searching eyes to find all 26 clues on the list. The Hunt should take most 7 to 11 year olds 45 min - 60 min to complete, and participants should be accompanied as they wander by an adult (to fend off grumpy unicorns and librarian ghosts).

Better start working out your peepers 👀
