Booking Now Open: St Mary’s Holiday Club 2024

We are delighted that our fun-packed Holiday Club will be running this year from Monday 5th – Friday 9th August – please do join us!

Holiday Club is open to primary school age children from those currently in Reception to year 6. It is a fun-packed activity week led by our new Vicar, Revd Rachel and a wonderful team of adult and teenage volunteers. 

Our theme for this year is ‘Deep Sea Divers‘, so get your snorkels ready and we’ll have a whale of a time!  

Each day, children will rotate in their groups between sports and outdoor games, the craft tent, thinking sessions and some fun one-off activities. 

Holiday Club runs from Monday 5th – Friday 9th August 2024, 9.30am – 1.00pm each day. Children will need a packed lunch each day, sensible footwear and clothes suitable for the weather.

The cost is £60 per child, with a sibling discount for more than one child of £50. If you would prefer to pay in instalments, or your child would like to attend but the cost will be prohibitive please email to let us know – your request will be treated confidentially.

We have 48 spaces and in previous years it has always sold out quickly with a waiting list, so do book early if your child would like to come along to avoid disappointment.

If you have any queries about Holiday Club please contact Ailsa Hulme, or if you have any problems with the online forms or payment please contact Kate Ford .

We hope you can join us for a fun-filled week!
