'I've never felt this energy... here on Kaurna, this is just beautiful...' Thomas Readett, Manager First Nations Programs at Carclew.

We're proud to share this beautiful film by James Cubillo, capturing some of the energy, spirit and moments that made the return of BLAK NITE so memorable.

Thank you to the artists, audiences, partners and community who helped bring it to life.

Celebrating History Month at Carclew ⏳

We welcomed over 100 visitors through our magical house - exploring the stories, spaces and legacy that makes Carclew so special.

Guided by two of our incredible young tour guides, attendees experienced the history of the building through fresh perspectives and passionate storytelling.

It was inspiring to see so many people connecting with Carclew’s past while celebrating the young voices shaping its future. 💛

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the weekend so memorable.

Every child has a superpower. ✨

For some, it’s singing. For others, dancing, painting, storytelling or performing.

This series celebrates the creative spark that already exists within every child - and the confidence, joy and possibility that grows when it is nurtured.

At Carclew, we give children and young people the space to discover their creativity, develop it and share it with the world.

Every child has a creative superpower. This EOFY, help us enable them to find theirs. 💛
