We’re very excited to have the ‘
You’re Kidding Me Expo’ happening at The Place on Friday the 20th of May!


The biggest child and family expo in the Hunter aims to improve accessibility to health, education and family services by connecting Lake Macquarie families to local services that support the learning and development of young children.


The expo will run from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and families will be able to interact with more than 50 local service providers, including speech therapists, parenting programs and early learning services. There will be program sessions from Julie Logan Music, a reptile encounter and even a petting zoo! Local parenting and child-health experts will also be available to provide personalised, free advice.


Safe Travel Solutions will be offering free car seat restraint checks and there will be a dedicated parents room and kids entertainment area on site.


Bringing our community back together has never been more important and we can’t wait to see you at the expo!

What makes a great venue? According to our 5-star reviews, it's more than just quality facilities and a convenient location. It's the experience, the support, and the confidence that your event is in good hands. At The Place, we provide professional, flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, training sessions, community events and corporate functions. Our team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish. What makes us different is that every booking creates impact beyond the room itself. As a Social Enterprise, venue hire at The Place helps fund local community programs that reduce social isolation, build skills, strengthen connections and create opportunities for people across our region. So when you're planning your next meeting, workshop, training day or event, consider a venue that delivers value for you or your organisation while supporting meaningful outcomes in the community.
