For something a little more intimate, visitors can meet their match in ‘A Blind Date with Democracy’, an experience designed to get you up close and personal with some of the cornerstones of our democratic system.  

Open Air PlayUP will also be back in the Senate Courtyard offering families outdoor games and fun in the sunshine (weather dependent). And, of course, visitors can grab that all important democracy sausage while they’re here too.
