SUMMARY:Make\, Believe\, Magic
DESCRIPTION:The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company\nTo mark 70 years of The Jim Henson Company\, QAGOMA in Brisbane is opening a huge exhibition all about how the magic actually gets made.

The Great Hall set from the Emmy winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has been recreated so families can step behind the scenes onto a working puppeteer’s film set. \nGood to know \nKids under 5 get in free and don’t need a ticket\nTicket categories cover children 5 to 12\, youth 13 to 25\, adults\, concession and QAGOMA members\nTickets are through QTIX\, the official ticketing service.

SUMMARY:The Night Sky exhibition at Landsborough Museum

Just an hour north of Brisbane\, local families can explore interactive displays on light pollution\, dark sky conservation\, and simple steps to protect our evening skies. \nThe Night Sky exhibition at Landsborough Museum\nThe Night Sky exhibition at Landsborough Museum looks at the important role darkness plays in our lives and the natural world.

Interactive displays and local stories encourage people to look up\, switch off and be more aware of the dark. \nIt’s a great reason to make the trip north from Brisbane\, with Landsborough about an hour’s drive up the Bruce Highway. Visitors leave with practical ideas for reducing light pollution and protecting the night sky for future generations. \nEntry is free\, and group bookings are preferred. The exhibition can be viewed during the museum’s opening hours. Visitors with a photo of the Sunshine Coast night sky can share it for a chance to be featured in a community digital display within the exhibition. \nPlan your visit\nWhen: Friday 2nd October 2026 to Saturday 20th February 2027 \nWhere: Landsborough Museum\, 4 Maleny Street\, Landsborough 4550 \nMore information here

There are plenty of one-of-a-kind items you won’t find in mainstream stores. Whether you’re searching for the perfect Yule gift\, an unusual Christmas present or something delightfully strange for yourself\, there’s magic waiting around every corner. \nYule and the origins of Christmas \nIn the Southern Hemisphere\, Yule is traditionally celebrated in June\, and a dedicated Yule market was held earlier this year on the Fraser Coast. This event is a chance to explore the fascinating origins of many Christmas traditions and how ancient Yule customs have influenced the festive season we know today. \nHistorically\, Yule (also known as Jul\, Jól or Joulu) was a winter festival celebrated by Germanic peoples\, and it later became intertwined with Christmas during the Christianisation of Europe. Scholars have linked the ancient celebrations to traditions surrounding Odin\, the Wild Hunt and the Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht\, or “Mothers’ Night”. \nMany beloved festive customs are believed to have roots in these older Yule celebrations\, including the Yule log\, the Yule goat\, the Yule boar\, traditional Yule singing\, and community feasting and celebration. Everyone is encouraged to explore the history for themselves and discover the rich tapestry of traditions that have shaped modern Christmas celebrations. \nAbout The Witches Market \nThe Witches Market is the original and longest-running market of its kind in South East Queensland\, created by and operating within the Pagan community for the Pagan community and its supporters. Whether you’re Pagan\, spiritual\, alternative\, curious or simply looking for a truly unique day out\, come and experience the magic. \nFree entry. Family friendly. Unique shopping. Magical community. Come for the magic. Stay for the wonder. \nWitches Christmas Market @ Petrie event details\nWhen: Saturday 5th December 2026\, 2pm – 8pm \nWhere: Petrie School of Arts\, 1014 Anzac Ave\, Petrie 4502 \nMore information: here
