Cape Town, 29 June 2026: Building on the success of last year’s Glow Kids activation, Liberty Promenade is raising the bar this mid-year school holiday with Glow Studio: Create. Illuminate — an immersive neon experience designed to unite families through creativity, laughter, and a bit of wonderfully messy fun.
From Wednesday 1 July to Sunday 19 July 2026, the centre’s old cinema space in the Food District will transform into a glowing interactive studio where children and parents can paint, splash, spray, and create under dazzling UV lights that bring vibrant neon colours to life.
Open daily from 12 midday to 5 PM, Glow Studio: Create. Illuminate promises an electrifying escape from screens and routines, inviting visitors to step into a world where imagination takes over and creativity has no limits. Entry costs R30 per person. Bookings can be made at the registration desk, with both cash and card payments accepted.
A Glowing World of Creativity
Bigger, brighter and more interactive than before, the experience will feature giant glow walls, neon paint zones, immersive lighting effects, an infinity mirror room and hands-on creative stations designed to encourage playful self-expression. Families are invited to get messy together as music, colour and glowing artwork fill the space with energy throughout the school holiday.
Designed as a shared family activity, Glow Studio: Create. Illuminate creates space for parents and children to reconnect through creativity and play while making lasting memories together.
Creating Joy While Giving Back
Beyond the glowing paint and colourful fun, the activation also carries an important community element. A portion of every ticket sold during the activation will go towards providing art supplies to a local NPO or daycare centre in underserved local communities, extending the spirit of creativity beyond the walls of the experience itself.
Visitors will also have the chance to take part in the snap-and-win competition by sharing photos or videos from the activation by using #LPGlowStudio on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. Four lucky participants will each win a R500 Liberty Promenade gift card.
