We are delighted to unveil our Halloween Programme for 2025, packed with engaging activities for families and children of all ages. Starting on 25 October, we are offering a mix of drop-in and bookable workshops to inspire creativity during the autumn break.
Bookable Workshops
Dates: Monday 27 October – Friday 31 October
Time: 2pm – 3pm
Each session offers a unique opportunity to explore different crafts and activities, guided by our experienced facilitators.
Booking is essential. To book a place, please click here.
Please note that adults accompanying children to the workshop must also book a space. This ensures we can accommodate everyone comfortably.
Workshops include:
- Pumpkin patch crafts: Make everlasting paper plate pumpkin decorations or a pumpkin-themed mobile to hang.
- Halloween wreath: A fun seasonal decoration to put up at home – autumnal or spooky, it’s up to you!
- Clay creations: Work with air dry clay to make mini pumpkins, mushrooms, bats, or whatever your imagination can come up with! Aprons will be provided. Bring a box to carry your creation home – air dry clay dries out in a few days.
- Halloween window hanger: Create a spooky window decoration to catch the seasonal sun.
- Wonderful night wings: Design your own wings and bring them to life! Will you become a bat, dragon, or dark fairy?
