A new creative holiday club for kids giving you the opportunity to make cool puppets and then learn how to perform with them.
Join us this Easter holiday for three puppet-making workshops, designed to keep your child aged 7–11 happy and entertained from 9am–4.15pm while being supervised by our experienced staff. Your child can choose to attend one, two or all three days, with each workshop teaching them how to make a different type of puppet.
Your child will be supported every step of the way from making mysterious animals to magical creatures, and all they will need are comfy clothes to craft in and a packed lunch (no nuts or sesame seed products)
At the end of the day, parents and carers are invited back to a small informal sharing performance at 3.30pm where your child can showcase what they’ve created and learned, before being collected at 4pm.
