Looking for school holiday activities around Lapstone? Our listings mix big Penrith outings, local markets and a stage show with clubs in Leonay and Glenbrook for netball, tennis, rugby, athletics and soccer. None are marked as holiday-only programs yet, so ask each organiser what runs when school is out.
The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ.
Panthers, markets and a musical
- Panthers Penrith: Kids Eat Free at Kelly's Bar + Kitchen, Carollers at Panthers, and a New Year's Eve event. Check the organiser for days, conditions and bookings.
- Markets: Nepean Growers and Makers Market in Jamisontown and Glenmore Park Night Market in Glenmore Park.
- Stage: Alice in Wonderland: The Musical in Emu Plains. Ask about session times and the ages it suits.
Classes
Two classes are listed: a Monday early childhood art class in Emu Plains, and a beginners class in Jamisontown. Check the organisers for what the beginners class covers and which ages it takes.
Clubs in Leonay and Glenbrook
- Leonay: Blue Mountains Netball Association, Blue Mountains Junior Rugby, Blue Mountains Rugby Union Club, Lapstone Tennis Club, Emu Plains Little Athletics Centre and Blue Mountains FC.
- Glenbrook: Blue Mountains Soccer Club and Highland Synergy Dance Studio.
Sport runs in seasons, so ask whether kids can try a session and whether anything runs in the holidays.
How to plan it
- Penrith, Jamisontown, Emu Plains, Glenmore Park and Leonay are all separate spots. Check travel times on your map and group outings by area.
- Book early for events and anything with limited places.
- Ages are rarely listed, so a quick message to the organiser helps.
- Mix one planned outing with a couple of free days each week.
