We often hold events for celebrations that happen throughout the year, including a Halloween party, bonfire night BBQ and Christmas events.

Scouts and Girlguiding

Scouts - Help children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.

Girlguiding - Whether your child wants to join Rainbows (4-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14) or Rangers (14-18), we offer a safe, girl-only space in which your child can build confidence, learn new skills and discover who they want to be. We’ve got an action-packed programme with something for every girl, and we work to be truly girl-led in everything we do.
