This page is for families around Cambridge Park, Penrith, Kingswood, Werrington and Cranebrook who want to keep costs down. We list two events for this guide, and both are in Penrith: the Write Out West Family Fun Day and a carnival at Panthers Penrith. We don't have the cost for either, so confirm that entry is free with the organiser before you go.
Events to look at
- Write Out West Family Fun Day, Penrith
- The carnival at Panthers Penrith
We have no times, ages or entry details for these. Organisers publish that information on their own pages, and it can change. Look there, or phone or message them, and ask three things: is entry free, are there extras that cost money, and do I need to book?
Why the list is short
We have only included things we can name as events. The clubs and venues in Cambridge Park are left out of this guide because we can't confirm that they are free. We're still adding free options across the Penrith and Nepean area, and this guide will grow as we find them.
Keeping an outing cheap
An event can be free to enter and still add up. These habits help:
- Eat before you go, and bring your own water bottle and snacks.
- Agree with the kids beforehand what you will and won't buy on the day.
- Check how you will get there, and whether parking costs anything.
- Go with another family and share the driving.
- Arrive early, when it is calmer and easier to find your way around.
Planning the day
Both events are in Penrith, so allow travel time from Cambridge Park, Kingswood, Werrington or Cranebrook. Look at the weather, and check the organiser's page on the morning in case plans have changed. Bring a hat and sunscreen if the event is outdoors, and a spare layer if it will run into the evening. A carnival can be busy, so agree a meeting spot with your children in case you get separated.
For the latest details, always go to the organisers' own pages. The events and clubs below show what is currently listed.
