School Holidays

Every School Holiday we open our adventure playground to children and Young People aged 8-16 years to come and play every afternoon Monday to Thursday.

Optional activities include 

  • Cooking on the open fire

  • Water play (water fights, water slide making, use of our paddling pool) 
  • Woodwork – build ramps and toys with our workbench and tools 
  • Sports including table tennis, pool, table football, dodge ball, swing ball, hockey, rounders and much more 
  • Arts and crafts activities  
  • Gardening building and maintaining our pond, growing wildflowers, vegetables and herbs. 

We offer a free hot lunch and plenty of healthy (often made by the young people) snacks throughout the afternoon. We also offer occasional trips out based on the interests of the children and young people attending.
