HAVE A GO EXPO 2026
We’re thrilled to announce that Have A Go Expo 2026 is happening on Saturday, 31 January 2026 at the Stirling Street Arts Centre, Bunbury.
Have A Go Expo is a youth-driven initiative that promotes community connection and wellbeing. The event invites young adults aged 18–30 to explore and engage with local clubs, social groups, and creative outlets.
Following two successful events in 2024 and 2025, where over 200 young people attended and 75% found a new hobby or interest, we’re ready to go bigger in 2026. From musical theatre to ultimate frisbee, the Expo showcases the incredible opportunities our region has to offer.
We’d love for you to be involved again this year as a stallholder or workshop provider.
Expression of Interest Forms
Join us for the second Greater Bunbury Youth Mental Health Forum! Following the success of the 2025 event – which saw over 110 students, 20 school staff and 16 stallholders come together – this year’s Forum promises to be even bigger and better. It’s a fantastic opportunity for Year 10–12 students to engage in meaningful discussions around mental health, leadership, and youth empowerment.
The 2026 Forum offers an engaging mix of keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and hands-on activities that provide practical strategies for mental health and wellbeing. It is being developed by a passionate youth steering committee through the Innovation Academy.
