  • Holiday club

    Unfortunately, we will not be holding a Summer Holiday Club this year due to Covid-19 and goverment advice. 

    Although we are not holding a Holiday Club, there will be some summer activities in the coming weeks. Bookings for these are now open and can be found on the 'Holiday Activities' page.

    We run three holiday clubs a year for primary school children aged between 5 and 11 years.

    The children enjoy taking part in many activities including: craft, cooking, sports, puppet shows and visits from special guests!

    Thanks to the generosity of our local councillors, the children normally go on at least one trip during each club. Recent trips include the Lighthouse Theatre, Kids Play, Irchester Country Park and West Lodge Rural Centre.

    Our holiday club is always very popular and gets booked up very quickly. It is therefore always advisable to book well in advance. Like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter to stay updated.

    Cost​

    £30, or £9 if you are in receipt of benefits.

  • LGBTQ group
    ‘Hide and Seek’ is our award-winning youth group for young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, or those who are questioning their sexual orientation or identity.
