Events

We aim to encourage the children to build their social skills and interact with each other during the activities, which is the most common request from parents. However we also have to be mindful that the children often feedback that they enjoy the individual activities most.  We therefore try to provide an atmosphere where the kids can have fun in a group, while not forcing them into uncomfortable situations.

Please use the links on the left to see details of some of the events we have held in the past, and below for details on the activities coming up.

25th June 2011 - Bluebell Railway Trip
Find out about the age of steam with a special guided visit to the Bluebell Railway. We will get to see the engines, inside the coachworks and a signal box, and if we’re very lucky we might get to stand on the footplate of an engine understeam (although we can’t promise!). All this and a trip from Sheffield Park to Kingscote and back.  So come armed with all your railway questions
