Workshops for specific age ranges are designed for the children to attend on their own
Family Workshops are designed for children and adults to get creative together - a ticket must be booked for every participant attending
We expect the carpark to be busy so please allow at least 15-20 mins to park / walk to Norden Farm / pick up tickets / find your workshop
Workshops will take place across the building - Norden Farm will be well sign posted, use posters to find out where you should be and check the location on your tickets
We recommend dressing for mess at our workshops
The Café Bar will be open from 9am, serving food from 9am - 3pm. Why not start the day with breakfast? Snacks and soft drinks can be bought throughout the day. Newspapers and WiFi are available to keep adults entertained!
Our team of friendly Young Leader volunteers will be on hand to help (look out for their lanyards)
Have fun!
