📅 Thursday 23rd & Thursday 30th August
🕙 10:00am – 12:00pm
📍 Croftlands Community Centre
Book Your Free Place
Please complete the booking form so we can keep an eye on numbers and ensure we have enough resources, refreshments, and activity materials available for everyone attending.
The Summer Village is a free summer holiday session for parents, carers, babies, and children.
This welcoming community space has been created to help families slow down, connect with others, enjoy creative activities, and access peer support in a relaxed and family-friendly environment.
While children play and explore, parents and carers are invited to enjoy gentle wellbeing activities, conversation, and opportunities for reflection.
What to Expect
Inspired by maternal journaling circles, each session includes:
A wellbeing check-in
Simple creative activities
Gentle reflection prompts
Tea, coffee, and conversation
Child-friendly play opportunities
Peer support and signposting to local services
The focus is not on producing perfect crafts but on creating opportunities for connection, self-expression, and reducing isolation.
Creative Activities
Summer Intentions
Create a postcard to your future self.
Gratitude Jars
Decorate jars and fill them with positive moments.

Create beautiful patterns using leaves, flowers, and natural treasures.

Paint stones with encouraging words and messages.

Sensory trays
Loose parts play

Books and quiet activities
Dedicated baby area
Additional Wellbeing Features

Kindness Postcards for parents to write encouraging messages to one another
Important Information
This is an informal, self-led community session. Parents and carers remain responsible for the supervision, safety, wellbeing, and behaviour of their own children at all times.
Children must not be left unattended, and organisers cannot provide childcare or one-to-one supervision.
By attending, you acknowledge that participation in activities is voluntary and undertaken at your own discretion. While reasonable care is taken to provide a safe environment, attendees participate at their own risk.
Places are free but booking is essential to help us plan resources and ensure a comfortable environment for all families.
