Hexham Library Free Half Term Activities

Not content to wait until the holidays begin, we're starting early by hosting a Sowing the Seeds event on Saturday. We've invited gardeners, planters and nature lovers of all kids to come and share their knowledge and enthusiasm with us as we look forward to getting our gardens ready for spring. There'll be hands on activities to try and loads of easy-to-do project ideas to help make any outdoor space a place for nature. The event runs from noon and everyone is welcome to pop in and join us.

On Tuesday 18 February we have the first of two flow yoga sessions for kids with Rachel from Akasha Yoga & Therapy to help ease us into a chilled-out holiday mode. Places are FREE but limited, with a second chance to join in during the half term week, all of which can be booked via our Eventbrite pages.

During the holiday week itself we have a Creepy Crawly Roadshow, our second set of yoga sessions with Rachel, a planting party on The Sele with Hexham Space for Nature and a chance to find out more about the science in nature at a Science Sparks session.

All these events are aimed at families with children and are free to attend. More details are available on their Eventbrite page.
