The Yard is Newcastle’s hands-on hub for creative learning and discovery.

Here, children develop problem-solving skills through real tools and open-ended materials, adults reconnect with the joy of making, and educators explore innovative approaches to teaching and play.

​

We offer two distinct learning environments:

• The Exploratorium – an outdoor STEM play space designed for large-scale builds, scientific investigations, and experiential learning.

• The Makery – an indoor studio where art, craft, and design projects nurture creativity, fine motor skills, and critical thinking.

Step into a space where curiosity leads the way, ideas are tested, and every creation is a chance to learn.
