Bring the children on Monday’s, Wednesday’s & Friday’s 10am – 2pm to Darwen Market Annexe
Darwen Market is offering free family friendly activities during the summer holidays, running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The sessions run from 10am – 2pm during the summer holidays in Darwen Market Annexe. The programme, provided by Crafty Vintage, is varied and changes every day.
On Magical Monday’s expect to see magic shows, to learn magic, to take part in circus workshops or to play giant games. Workshop Wednesday’s will be more craft based you might learn a craft, learn to draw or paint or attend a talk on how to declutter your wardrobe!
Funky Fridays are a party day, attend DJ school, a silent disco or play retro games and even take part in a talent contest for local young people with prizes to be won!
Cllr Phil Riley, Executive Member for Regeneration, said:
We are pleased to be working with Crafty Vintage to bring the Free Summer Fun programme to Darwen Market.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join in with the activities that are on offer.
Laura Johnson from Crafty Vintage has been delighted by the take up so far. She said:
The number of families that came along this week was fantastic and the activities have gone down really well. We have had craft sessions to make trinket boxes that people could take home with them, as well as an impromptu ukulele singalong. The children were thrilled!
The mornings have been busiest so far, but we have more capacity, so I would encourage people to keep coming along! Why not meet friends for a browse round the fantastic market? Have a coffee or lunch and let the children be entertained with the activities on offer.
The full programme can be found on www.darwentowncentre.co.uk.
