Event Details

Relax these school holidays with VR (virtual reality). 

Virtual reality involves wearing a headset that gives the wearer an immersive visual experience. 

This session will include a chance to try on our VR headsets and explore their capabilities before settling into a relaxing meditation session with one of our favourite meditation apps.

For this experience, participants will be seated. 

Suitable for youth and young people aged 13+

Please read the full health and safety warning below before booking. 


Virtual Reality Headset Safety Warnings:

Please read before booking

A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an unimpaired sense of motion and balance. Do not use the headset when you are: over tired; need sleep; under the influence of alcohol or drugs; hung-over; have digestive problems; under emotional stress or anxiety; or when suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.

Consult with your physician before using the headset if you are pregnant, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or psychiatric disorders, or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition.

 Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have severe dizziness, seizures, eye or muscle twitching or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they are watching TV, playing video games or experiencing virtual reality, even if they have never had a seizure or blackout before or have no history of seizures or epilepsy. Such seizures are more common in children and young people. Anyone who experiences any of these symptoms should discontinue use of the headset and see a doctor. If you previously have had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition you should see a doctor before using the headset.

 If you feel unwell discontinue use of the headset.

 Always use the controller’s wrist strap.

Always ensure that there is adequate clear space to move freely and that the area is clear of obstructions and trip hazards.

Prolonged use should be avoided, as this could negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking ability. Adults should monitor children closely during and after use of the headset for any decrease in these abilities.

Children: This product is not a toy and should not be used by children under the age of 13, as the headset is not sized for children and improper sizing can lead to discomfort or adverse health effects, and younger children are in a critical period in visual development. Adults should make sure children (age 13 and older) use the headset in accordance with these health and safety warnings.


We will always do our best to run our programs. However, please understand that programs may be cancelled at the last minute if health restrictions change.
