Get creative this October half term

Half term fun this October has become even easier for parents in Hertsmere.

Parents wanting to book their children onto the action packed creative arts programme this October half term can, for the first time, fill in a reservation form which can be downloaded from the Council's website or in the 'October Half Term Playscheme' leaflet.

The activities are open to all children aged from five to 11 and include arts, crafts and creative games as recommended by the Heart Foundation. As well as learning about model making, collage, 3D and drawing, the children will also experience the fun of a holiday play scheme environment.

The playscheme is running from Monday 23 to Friday 27 October at various locations throughout the Borough.

Sara Younger, Hertsmere’s Cultural Services Officer, said: “We have tried to make booking onto our half term creative programme as easy as possible. We surveyed parents and found that many found it hard to get through on our telephone booking lines, because our schemes are so popular.

"We've introduced a reservation form to make our playschemes more accessible to all families.

"Our half term programme is always very popular with young people in Hertsmere. We know our schemes are a real help to busy mums and dads, especially with our extended care facilities which run between 9am and 5pm at venues where there is demand”

Telephone booking lines for the October half term programme are open from 10am to 2pm on Tuesday 26 to Friday 29 September. Get in Quick!

Parents can book up to four places. To book please call our booking line on 020 8207 7801 or download the October half term leaflet, with reservation form, here.
