What better way to spoil Dad this Father' Day, Sunday 5 September 2010, than by bringing him to enjoy a picnic in the beautiful gardens of Rippon Lea Estate. From 11am till 4pm, families can delight in a sausage sizzle, enjoy live music performed by Melbourne based Miranda Jane on vocals and percussion and Delsinki on vocals and guitar combine to create soaring harmonies with acoustic tunes. The Australian Buick Car Club will also have a range of vintage and classic cars on display for all to enjoy. Dads can indulge in a mini massage and the kids can have fun on the giant jumping castle. Visit the historic mansion, enjoy a boat ride on the lake or participate in fun tennis activity on Rippon Leas heritage court. So don't forget to pack a picnic and enjoy a lovely day with Dad in the luscious surrounds of this magnificent National Trust property.

Wizard Powers is a silly wizard's apprentice who has trouble getting any of his magic to work properly. Now he's had a spell cast on him that has turned his hair into girl's piggy-tails & he's been banished from Gruber's Castle of Magic all together. Who can help break the silly spell?
Luckily Witch-Way-Did-She-Go has brought a special magic potion and needs everyone to help mix it up. Everyone has a chance to crack in the dinosaur eggs, mix in the dragons milk or have a stir of the magic potion. Once cooked, one bite of the "Magica Cake" would break the spell on Wizard powers, but will they get the potion right?
A hilarious adventure with games, songs, magic tricks and a fun hands on approach to potion making.
