SUMMER HOLIDAYS 2026

Tuesday 31st March  - Friday 10th April  - 10 am - 2 pm

Join us this Summer for a school holiday packed with fun, creativity, and adventure at The Craft Room Summer Camps! ☀️🎨⚽

Each day is filled with exciting arts and crafts, energetic sports sessions, games, activities, and plenty of laughter, friendships, and summer memories waiting to be made.

We’ll also be providing a hot lunch at 12pm each day, giving children time to relax, recharge, and refuel before jumping back into the afternoon fun.

Our summer camps provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where children can build confidence, get creative, stay active, and enjoy an unforgettable school holiday experience.

Spaces fill quickly, so book your child’s place today and let the summer fun begin! 🌈✨

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!
