An hour earlier this year: from 4 pm!

Traditional winter games for children

Throw, aim, roll and above all laugh a lot. Great for the very youngest too, as we start at 4 pm.

This year our children’s activities are all about traditional games with a wintry twist: simple games from the old days. No experience needed, and parents and grandparents are welcome to join in. All the games are free.
