Cape Town, 11 July 2025: These July school holidays, Liberty Promenade in Mitchell’s Plain is set to light up the chilly winter days with a colourful new activation that brings art, community, and connection together under one glowing roof. From 7 to 20 July, children and their families can explore an interactive studio filled with glow-in-the-dark walls, vibrant paints, and bold markers, a space designed to let young imaginations run wild.
Located in the former cinema area in the mall’s Food District, this pop-up experience invites children to get messy, have fun, and create freely in a playful space unlike any traditional play area. The entire experience takes place in a darkened studio where the fun quite literally glows, bringing every brushstroke to life in neon colour. The entry fee is R20 per person, and all bookings must be made in person at the on-site registration desk.
Creativity with a Cause
This activation is more than a holiday activity. Every ticket purchased will contribute directly to a local NPO or daycare in need of art supplies, ensuring that the joy of creativity is shared with others in the wider community. The initiative is designed to honour Mandela Day by supporting grassroots organisations and everyday heroes who make a difference through education and care.
Share the Glow
Families visiting Promenade can also take part in exciting giveaways during the activation. By posting a photo or video of their experience using the hashtag #LPGlowKids, shoppers stand a chance to win one of four R500 Liberty Promenade Gift Cards.
This is the first time an experience like this has come to the Mitchell’s Plain area, making it a must-visit for families. Whether it’s the thrill of painting on walls, the joy of a shared family outing, or the knowledge that your participation helps others, the Glow Walls experience brings together play and purpose in a meaningful way. Open daily from 10 am to 4 pm from 7 to 20 July, the Glow Kids Studio is an ideal opportunity for screen-free time and spontaneous expression.
