Join us for a week immersed in a wide range of explorative art and crafts activities!
Each day a visiting artist will lead art workshops with the children, supported by our creative playworkers. We cover a wide variety of art and crafts with a focus on learning and most of all FUN! With access to a full range of arts facilites and equipment, and use of our extensive grounds, lawns, gardens and woodland.
WEEK 2> 16-20 October 2023
Our daily activities for the Autumn are listed at the bottom of the page, these will be as exciting, fun and educational as always.
The club is for children aged 5-12 years and will run from 9am – 3.30pm
(drop off from 9am-9.30am, pick up 3.30pm sharp)
The club costs £30 per day, this includes the provision of a wide range of art materials, refreshments, and snack.
Children will need to bring their own packed lunch and raincoat/sunscreen.
We hope to get outside into our beautiful grounds to explore as often as possible, so please pack raincoats as well as dressing in suitable clothing and footwear.
Please select the days that you wish to book, and for how many, then proceed to fill in your children’s details.
Please note that we are not a registered childcare provider, and we do not have additional support beyond our Artists and Creative Playworkers.
The club is made up of a series of creative art activity workshops. If your child does not enjoy art, or a busy environment, please look to book them into a more suitable workshop. We want all of our children to get the most from their art club workshops, in a safe and happy environment.
FREE PLACES -
There are 2 free places available each day this week for families with low income, such as those in receipt of Universal Credit (Working Tax Credit does not qualify).
If this applies to you, and would benefit your family, please add your preferred dates to your basket and proceed to fill in the child's details.
We suggest to make use of one or two days per child over the 2 weeks, so that other families also have the opportunity to benefit from the sessions. Any additional bookings will be removed.
These few places are much needed, so please be considerate when booking so that these can be shared amongst other children too.
*We reserve the right to enquire which benefit you are in receipt of.
We are thrilled to welcome back Artist Kirsty Baxter for the second week of the holiday art club.
