Upcoming Childrens Camps
OCTOBER 2026
Thursday 29th October 10am - 2pm
Join us this Halloween for a school holiday packed with spooky fun, creativity and Halloween magic at The Craft Room Halloween Camp! 🎃👻🕷️
The day will be filled with spooky arts and crafts, fun activities, games and plenty of Halloween excitement! Children are encouraged to come dressed in their best Halloween fancy dress, ready to take part in our fancy dress parade at 1.45pm, where parents are welcome to come along and watch. We’ll also be holding a best dressed competition, so get those spooky outfits ready!
A cold buffet lunch will be provided, giving children time to relax, refuel and enjoy lunch with their friends before getting back to the fun.
Our camps provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment where children can get creative, build confidence, make friends and enjoy their school holidays.
Spaces fill quickly, so book your child’s place today for a spooktacular day at The Craft Room! 🎃🦇

Our Impactful Projects
Children's Camps
Our children’s HAPpy Camps offer a creative and active space for kids to explore their artistic side, get moving, and have fun! Each day includes hands-on crafts, exciting physical activities, and a free nutritious lunch – all in a safe, welcoming environment. We aim to spark creativity, encourage healthy habits, and make sure every child leaves with a smile (and maybe a bit of glitter too!).
Adult Workshops
Join our adult workshops to unleash your creativity, improve your mental wellbeing, and connect with like-minded people in a relaxed and supportive environment. We believe that getting stuck into arts and crafts is more than just a fun hobby—it’s a powerful way to reduce stress, build confidence, and support positive mental health. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned crafter, our sessions are designed to inspire, uplift, and empower you through the joy of creating.
Book/Puzzle Swap
Love books or puzzles? Bring them along to our Book & Puzzle Swap at the Howard Centre! It’s a friendly, social way to refresh your bookshelf or puzzle collection without spending a penny.
Simply bring along books or puzzles you’ve finished and swap them for something new to enjoy. Whether you’re into novels, nonfiction, children’s books, or jigsaw puzzles, there’s something for everyone.
Come along, meet fellow book and puzzle lovers, discover new favourites, and enjoy a relaxed, community atmosphere. It’s free, fun, and a great way to share the joy of reading and puzzling!
