The shortlist
What to see, do, love and dive into this autumn
WATCH
How to Train Your Dragon in Concert
Make family night extra magical with Adelaide Entertainment Centre’s How to Train Your Dragon in Concert on Sat 13 June. The beloved DreamWorks film plays in HD while the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra performs John Powell’s Academy Award-nominated score live to picture. It’s a big-screen adventure and a live music experience all in one, perfect for kids and their grown-ups.
SEE
2026 History Festival
For little wrigglers who need to shake, shimmy and learn on the go, the podcast ‘Busy Bodies with Mr Snot Bottom’ is a hilarious dive into the human body, think gross jokes plus real science. Your kids will love it; you’ll probably learn something too.
DO
Visit a regional farmers’ market
Visit a regional farmers’ market or take the kids fruit picking these holidays. Through autumn and winter you’ll find apples and pears in the Adelaide Hills, late-season figs, chestnuts, and citrus like mandarins and oranges ready to pick across the Hills and Riverland. For something different, you could also stop by Hahndorf Farm Barn for hands-on animal encounters and country air. Fresh produce, muddy boots, and a full day out sorted.
SHOP
Kip&Co x Fairyland collection
Step into a world of magic with the Kip&Co x Fairyland collection! Think fluttering fairies, glowing mushrooms, and sparkly garden adventures, now on super soft bedding, clothes, and cosy accessories. It’s like bringing a storybook to life in your bedroom or wardrobe, made for kids (and grown-ups who still love a bit of fairy magic). Perfect for dreaming, playing, and imagining every day!
Here’s to an autumn filled with curious minds, sticky fingers, and days packed with laughter, wonder, and a little bit of magic.
