Enjoy all the region has to offer at Lansell Square!

IN partnership with Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise and Bendigo Community Health and supported by funding from City of Greater Bendigo, Lansell Square Shopping Centre is inviting the community to join in the fun each Friday in March from 12pm to 6pm with themed activities.

The aim of the activations is to provide an opportunity for the Kangaroo Flat community to engage with a broader retail and services offering, creating more connections and supporting local businesses.

Each week will feature a Connecting our Community Event showcasing local businesses and Community Organisations to share what they do best with Bendigo locals.

Workshops and activities will be developed around key themes over four consecutive Fridays in March. Each week’s theme will showcase engaging displays and activations aimed at the wider Kangaroo Flat community, plus all activities will be free!

Friday, 4 March – Technology & Finance

The internet has transformed almost every aspect of our lives and is increasingly regarded as an essential service.

Friday, 11 March – Art & Culture

Showcasing all the amazing talent within our schools, theatre groups and artisan communities is the overarching theme of this week.

Friday, 18 March – Food & Health
