Events - 2018
Halloween!
You can make a Halloween headband, paint paper plate pumpkins, ghouls and monsters, decorate spooky pinecone creatures and make creepy dough decorations. Plus there will be colouring sheets, wordsearches and puzzles.
​
These activities will be most suitable for 3-8 year olds, but younger children can still join in with a bit of adult help, and older children are welcome if they would enjoy it.
For children aged 3 and over, it is £5 if you pay in advance, £6 if you pay on the day. This gives you total access to all activities (painting, playdough, sticking and colouring – but you can often do more than one project at each table).
​
For children aged 2 and under you have the option to pay the full price to do all the activities, or a discounted price of £2 to do two of the activities (usually painting and playdough). We also have a small area with a few toys and games that is free of charge.
