Tuesday 28 – Thursday 30 May 2024
Back by popular demand, ensure your youngsters have a blast this half term with our Holiday Club. Drop them off for three full days of adventure at Harewood, exploring History, Art and Nature. Alternatively, choose their favourite topic out of the three and reserve a single session.
Each day will begin at 9am and all children will need to be picked up by 4pm.
Day 1 – Tue 28 May – Art Explorers
Step back in time and get creative, using bronze age craft techniques inspired by the prehistoric history of Harewood House. Children will have the chance to get hands on with clay, beads and paper mosaic making!
Day 2 – Wed 29 May – History Explorers
Discover your inner Anglo-Saxon and jump into a fascinating story from Harewood’s past. Take part in a range of fun, hands on activities such as Anglo-Saxon arts and crafts, shield drills and team building games.
Day 3 – Thu 30 May – Forest Explorers
Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature as you explore the hidden treasures of the forest! Engage in thrilling games that promote teamwork, problem-solving, and a deep appreciation for the great outdoors whilst cosying up next to the crackling campfire.
Our Holiday Club sessions are led by a team of skilled and passionate facilitators. Discover more about each member below
