About this event

Children can join us for one day, choose their favourite days, or come for the full Halloween half-term camp. Every day features a different main project alongside smaller creative activities, art games and challenges, with guided tuition from experienced art teachers and exciting take-home creations.

Throughout the week children explore painting, clay, sculpture, mixed media and printmaking, creating artwork inspired by Halloween, spooky characters, haunted houses, pumpkins, monsters and magical worlds. Taught by qualified art teachers – not activity leaders or holiday camp staff.
