From 11am until 3.30pm there will free drop-in crafts in The Battery House, where children will be able to get creative, inspired by the laser shows. In addition, there will be entertainment in The Courtyard from 3.30pm – 4.30pm and a free silent disco held in The Battery House from 4pm – 5pm (pre-booking required) plus local vendors providing food and drink.
