Summer holiday fun in Burgess Hill!

The ever-popular Wowzer Wednesday sessions return with SIX activities across the summer. We will kick off the sessions on 23rd July with our inflatable extravaganza in St John’s Park, followed by crafts, circus skills, magic shows and Jolf. We will also be joined by Quantum Theatre for their performance of ‘Alice through the Looking Glass’ on Wednesday 13 August. All the sessions are free and only the crafts need prior booking, otherwise just pop along!

We are excited for the launch of ‘Move it Mondays’ with 8 sports taster sessions across the summer. Working with Encore Tennis and Worthing Thunder, children can learn new skills from qualified coaches, on Mondays 28 July, 4th, 11th and 18th August. A waiver must be completed in advance of the sessions.
