FAMILY WORKSHOP - SPRING 2010

WELCOME TO WORKSHOP - We are offering a range of creative activities for adults and children both individually and together. Everyone is welcome…come and make new friends and try something different, the activities offered are for all abilities, beginners and experienced. You don’t have to have an under five to join in…but if you do there’s lots of creative and learning activities for them too! There is a small charge for materials used by adults.
We do try to provide a safe space for work and play, but ultimately the responsibility for the children is with the parent/carer.

Drop in and no enrolment - we look forward to you having a go from 1.00 – 3.00pm at The Youth Centre, Sanders Lane, Holsworthy.

Suggested voluntary donation of £3.00 per Adult – children FREE- which includes refreshments.
