Activities over the mid-term break 2025

We have a range of workshops over the mid-term holidays for children and teenagers up to 16 years of age.

The workshops offer an opportunity to try out new things and work on creative projects.

Booking for the mid-term workshops opens on 30 September at 10 am. Places are very limited, so advance booking is advised. 

For most workshops, children do not need to be accompanied by an adult during the workshop, but will need permission from a parent or guardian to take part. Please check the details when you are booking. We will email you a permission form before the workshop.
