Freshney Place is preparing to entertain families this summer by hosting a fabulous weekly programme of activities. The Freshney Place Summer Camp events will offer a diverse range of free entertainment for children, to help families make the most of their school summer holidays. 

 

Taking place each Saturday, the Summer Camp will have a different type of activity each week to offer creativity and fun.  After the successful completion of each activity, children will be rewarded with a special embroidered badge and sash. 

 

On Saturday 3rd August it’s time to earn your Gardening Badge! Children can make their very own mini greenhouse, sow some seeds and learn about their life cycle. They can then take them home to watch them grow!

 

Saturday 10th August the circus will roll into town! Children can earn their Circus Badge by taking part in the circus workshop, learning how to aerial hoop, juggle and spin plates – all great skills to impress the family once back home!

 

For enthusing science buffs, Saturday 17th August will give youngster the chance to earn their science badge. Watch the mad scientists prepare their crazy experiments and take part in learning how to make slime, energy sticks, screaming balloons and instant snow.

 

On Saturday 24th August an Artist Badge will be up for grabs in the fabulous art workshops. Exploring the works of some of the most famous artists such as Picasso and Andy Warhol, children can experiment with artistic styles such as collage, pop art and watercolour.

 

Finally, to close the Summer Camp programme of activity, on Saturday 31st August

 

There will be a Dance Badge to earn whilst celebrating at the Summer Camp Party!  Learn some new moves and then show them off by dancing to some great tunes played by the DJ!

 

In addition to the Summer Camp activities there will also be FREE face painting every Saturday. And Freshney Places’ much loved summer trail will invite families to explore shop windows as they search for clues to complete their trail form. Collect and return your trail form to the event staff member near BB’s Cafe and receive a free treat for each one correctly completed! Visitors can also look out for Freshney Dog, the centre’s mascot, who will be making regular appearances, entertaining visitors with his playful antics.
