Seasonal activities throughout the year
Seasonal Activities
Throughout the year there are various occasions we love to celebrate; Easter, Halloween, Christmas! During these times you’ll find some seasonal activities that offer a twist on our daily routine and are great fun for the whole family.
We also like to celebrate the seasons with activities we cannot offer all year round, such as after-work activities that are a great way to let off some steam in the evenings – perfect on long summer nights. You’ll also find tailored family events, activities for couples, something for the ladies and much more! Keep an eye out here to see what’s on and coming up!
