There's drop in space available for tomorrow's Nimble Tales session at the lovely Peckham Pelican at 11am!

Don't forget that for tomorrow only, instead of being at the Ivy House, we'll be just running an 11am session, and it'll be held at the Waverley Arms instead! This is just round the corner from the Ivy House! This week it's all about a wolf that just wants to get his teeth in Little Red Riding Hood's cakes! Plus of course bubbles, scarves, cello tunes and lots and lots of animal puppets! Becky x

Join us tomorrow morning at 11am for our newest Nimble Tales class, at the Nines, Copeland Industrial Estate, Peckham. The bar's a little tucked away, but it's just behind the Bussey building, near to the entrance to the yoga studios, and once you've found it there's great coffee, healthy (and less healthy!) snacks, and, of course, some magical stories, cello tunes, scarves and silliness! x

Join us for Nimble Tales this week in SE15 for under 5s for stories, songs and cello tunes, plus of course lots of bubbles, puppets, silliness and scarves! We've a slight change to our Wednesday session, as due to another event, we're instead at the lovely Waverley Arms (just round the corner at 202 Ivydale Road), and we'll only have an 11am session this week - the Wednesday is sometimes pretty busy, so if you're looking for a quieter session, don't forget our brand new class at the NINES on Tuesday morning.

It feels VERY soon to be posting this after our February club, but (to our slight disbelief) Easter holidays are now under five weeks away (already!), and we've got some more creative holiday activities for 4-13 year olds with Nimble Arts over the holidays. If you book before the 1st March and use voucher code 'earlybird' you'll get ?10 off your booking. We're rejigging our clubs just a little bit, after a successful pilot of our Masterclass sessions for 10-13 year olds, we'll have specialised longer workshops, based around the same theme, for older participants, and these will be separate to the activities for younger children. Each day, workshops run between 10am and 4pm, run by great arts professionals and our regular Nimble team, and we have free extended drop off and pick up available between 8.30am and 5pm. Reception age children: Children aged 4 and 5 in reception class will have a group with their own specialist Early Years qualifed teacher, as well as assistants, who'll work with this group as they go through up to four different creative workshops! Four year olds can attend either then morning (9-1) or afternoon (1-5) sessions! Children aged 5 (year one) - 9: Over the course of the day, in small groups, they'll attend up to four different workshops exploring the theme of the day! Children aged 10 - 13: In a separate hall in a small group, participants of this age will normally have 2, longer and more in-depth workshops, working with great arts professionals. We're capping spaces by age, as well as total number on the day, to ensure everyone is in an age-appropriate group! We sold out most days for our last club, so would recommend advance booking. We're an Ofsted registered organisation, so you can pay by childcare voucher :) Our Easter Holiday workshops are.... Monday 30th March ARTS & CRAFTS: PUPPET SHOW Tuesday 31st March PLAY YOUR PART 1 Wednesday 1st April SUPERHEROES & VILLAINS Thursday 2nd April SOUND LAB Tuesday 7th April ARTS & CRAFTS: FASHION Wednesday 8th April: DANCE OFF Thursday 9th April: CIRCUS & MAGIC Friday 10th April: PLAY YOUR PART 2 To book your space, and find out a little more about Nimble Arts holiday clubs, and our other activities, go to our website at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=1103 Becky x

Don't forget you can drop in and join us tomorrow morning at the Peckham Pelican, 11am, for stories, cello tunes, bubbles, shakers and more! We'll be at the stage, plenty of room for buggies and great lunch options afterwards :) x

We've still got spaces across all of our Nimble Arts Masterclass workshops for half term week! These are our brand new workshops for small groups of children (maximum of 12 spaces each day), all with experience creative artists, specially designed for 10-14 year olds. They take place at Heber Primary School, but, (in reply to queries we've had!) they are separate to our holiday clubs for younger children, and participants will have their own chill out space and designated workshop leaders and pastoral team. Workshops last 1.30 - 4.30pm, but we can offer extended pick-up until 5pm, and do ask if you'd like to drop them off earlier to eat a packed lunch! Any questions, or if you'd like to more about what to expect at the sessions, please do get in touch! x

This week we've got the classic tale of the three little pigs, a slightly camp wolf and some major construction misadventures! Come join us, we'll be upstairs in the Old Nuns Head at 2pm today, plus normal Wednesday and Thursday sessions. x

Still a few places left! We've ordered all items and letters requested so far, but we're going to do an extra order on Monday and we hope things will get in on time. If there are spaces, we will have a few generic items available for spontaneous people! x

...And tomorrow (Friday 30th) there is drop in space at the Pelican! We'll be at back on the stage, and there's plenty of room for buggies. You can book in (and even pay in advance if you want) at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=421, but if you're spontaneous there should be room to drop in and join us at 11am! Becky x

Don't forget that if you want to choose your letter you'll need to sign up by this Friday! If you book after this, we will have some stock items available, but can't guarantee we'll have all letters... See some of you next week! Becky x

My usual pre-Wednesday reminder! We're back at the mighty Old Nuns Head tomorrow, find us in the back room under the glitter ball, among the fairy lights! There's space at both the 10am (3-5s) and 11am (0-2s) to drop in and join us. Not very strict on ages, but the earlier class is livelier and more movement, and the 11am tends to be a bit quieter. Come join us! x
