KIDS & ADULTS HALF-TERM GETAWAYS (FROM THE RAIN!)

Due to the success of his summer debut, Robert Henrit (former drummer with the KINKS) will be holding two workshops in the half-term. They are totally involving, sensibly structured but best of all, lots of FUN!! 

We are thrilled to introduce Pauline Collins and her little friends she will be weaving Magic stories for children under 7 and Spooky Ghost stories with a twist for kids over 7. These will tease your kids’ imagination, while adding a creative element through her glorious puppets.

With the advent of Halloween and Bonfire night we will also be running exciting, ghoulish days for kids to get into the spirit!
