A Summer of play at Quarry Bank

The Mill Meadow will be bursting with fun free activities and journey into the Mill to get creative with crafts and dressing up.

Every two weeks the theme of play will change, and so too will the free craft activity hosted in the Learning Space.

Motor Journeys is the theme from Saturday 20 July to Friday 2 August.

Nautical Journeys is the theme from Saturday 3 August to Friday 16 August.

The final theme is Nature's Journey's from Saturday 17 August to Monday 2 September.

Learning Space Discovery Zone This is an ideal opportunity to escape from the sun or rain and let little ones get creative. As well as a craft area, children can enjoy dressing up, playing with historic toys and imaginative play in the cottage.
