Paint & Play – Kids' Vivid Experience

Due to popular demand, we’re adding an additional session on the 31st of May 2025. The Saturday session on 24th May is fully booked, and only a few spots remain for the Sunday session on 25th May 2025. 

Kick off your family’s Vivid Sydney adventure with Paint & Play – a 1-hour kids’ activity session combining art, colour and food, hosted at Birdie Bar & Brasserie in partnership with local artist, James Patrick.

Running from 5pm (arrival from 4:30pm), this special pre-Vivid event is the perfect way to keep little hands busy while parents relax with drinks or enjoy dinner. After the session, families can indulge in a Vivid-themed dinner menu before setting off to experience the dazzling Light Walk through the city.

• Kids Vivid Birdie Bento for the kids

• Adults can order from the Restaurant

Whether you’re staying with us or joining us at Birdie for the fun, Paint & Play is the perfect Vivid warm-up for the whole family.
