Blaxland has a good local mix of dance studios, martial arts clubs and a library, with a musical and an art class a little further along in Emu Plains. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are the NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

We're still adding holiday programs near Blaxland, so this guide is a starting list, not a holiday timetable.

Events

One event is listed, Alice in Wonderland: The Musical, in Emu Plains. Ticket details, times and the age it suits are up to the organiser, so check their page before planning around it. If the musical appeals, ask the organiser whether it suits your child's age before you book.

Classes

The class listed is a Monday early childhood art class in Emu Plains. Ask the organiser about the age group and whether it runs during the holidays, as many classes follow the school term.

Clubs in and around Blaxland

Eight clubs are listed:

  • Dance: Fusion Movement Studio, Dance On Pointe and Fanci Footwork Dance and Cheer, all in Blaxland.
  • Martial arts: Western Sydney Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Blue Mountains Taekwondo in Blaxland, and Blue Mountains Tae Kwon Do in Leonay.
  • Library: Blaxland Public Library and Blaxland Library, both listed in Leonay. They may be the same library, so check the council's page for opening hours.

Dance and martial arts studios often run classes by age or level, so ask which group suits your child and whether you can try a session. Ask whether anything special runs during the break.

Ideas for different ages

For young children, the Monday early childhood art class is the clearest listing, but ask about the age group. For children who like to move, there are three dance studios in Blaxland, plus the taekwondo and jiu-jitsu clubs. Families who want something quieter can use the library as a simple stop. Emu Plains is a little further away for the musical or the art class, so check the travel time before you plan a day around it.

Planning the day

  • Pick one activity, then add a library visit if you want a quiet stop.
  • Check the travel time between Blaxland, Leonay and Emu Plains.
  • Confirm places with the organiser for classes and shows.
  • The organisers' own pages have the latest details.
