Are you a young person aged 5-12 and enjoy a range of creative activities? Join us for a joyful 3-day summer club designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and ease gently into the new school year. In a small, supportive group of no more than 8-10 children, we’ll explore a variety of fun and relaxing creative arts activities—from painting, sculpting and outfit designing to storytelling and music. It’s the perfect way to unwind, express yourself, and reconnect before school begins.

As well as all the fun activities during the club, you’ll receive a goody bag at the end to help you continue your creative wellbeing journey.

A bit about the club leader: I am Fiona and I have been a Primary Teacher for 16 years, currently in Support for Learning. As well as teaching, I am an artist, and qualified holistic counsellor. I run my business, 'Create and Connect Holistic Wellbeing', where I support my clients in developing their creative skills and knowledge whilst focusing on their wellbeing, taking them into relaxation response and benefitting their holistic health.

**PLEASE NOTE: Booking- to ensure I do not over-sell tickets, in order to keep the group a calm team of 8-10, I am selling tickets as half days only. Therefore, if your child wishes to do a full day, please book two half day tickets for that day. There is a £20 per child discount for a full week booking (Monday, Wednesday and Friday all day) so when booking this option, please choose all 6 half day tickets and I will then refund you the £20. Many thanks!
