After making its debut in New York nearly three years ago, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has taken up residence in Melbourne's own Princess Theatre. Since taking a brief hiatus (because, well, you know) the show will go on once again, running until the end of August.

Oh MFWF, how we missed you last year. The fest is back in a big way with the return of the longest lunch, a new longest brunch, a winter festival and more. Stay tuned to their website for more info.

After a two-year hiatus, ACMI has emerged in the city with a completely transformed look. Play with the stars and walk through animated light beams at their first new exhibit. Linger around to discover films, interactive displays, vintage video games and more. And it’s completely free!
