Nimble Arts Holiday Club, 28th July - 1 August: Cartoons, Clowns, Caribbean Folk Stories & more!


Recommended Posts

Hi All,


We've glue guns, props cupboards, glitter, loom beads and musical instruments at the ready, gearing up ready for Nimble Arts Holiday club next week, and wanted to let you know a little more about some of the fantastic creative freelancers we have joining us! There are still have a few spaces left all days for the first week held at Heber Primary School, and you can choose whichever days you'd like to join. Workshops run 10-4 each day, with free wraparound care 8.30am - 5pm. We welcome children aged 5-11 from any school, and younger siblings aged 4 are welcome to join, but only for a maximum of four hours a day. Booking details are on our website at www.nimblearts.co.uk.


Monday 28th July: Arts and Crafts

Cartoonist Cathy Simpson (http://cathysimpsonillustration.blogspot.co.uk) will be joining us to help us create our own cartoon critters, the fabulous Lou from Captured in the Rye (http://capturedontherye.com) will be leading screen printing workshops, and Becky will be doing wonderful things with washi tape, buttons and beads... Stay for the day and do all three activities!


Tuesday 29th July: Play your Part

Actor supreme and Nimble regular Ben Neale (http://ben-neale.com) will be inviting us inside magical Caribbean folk tales in a day of imaginative theatrical immersion.


Wednesday 30th July: Join the Circus

Clowns Spoon and Bott from Cobblers Theatre (http://www.cobblerstheatre.org) will be inducting us all into the world of clowning, Emily Splatt will then be teaching us juggling, and Catherine will help you make your own mini circus stage to take home with you!


Thursday 31st July: Rock Band

The day starts with an introduction to using iPads to make music, and a song writing masterclass! By the end of the day, with help from the professional musos and Nimble Band mentors, and our supplies of drums, guitars and mores, you'll have written and performed your own song (no rock experience necessary!)


Friday 1st August: Sound and Film

Over the day, you'll create your own radio show, explore sound and video using iPads, and also make an amazing animated short with professional animator Helen Piercy (http://helenanimate.com).


We're also running a week of activities at Goose Green Primary School from the 18th - 22nd August (all activities will be different!), and two musical courses, so check on the website for more details on these. Any questions about any of this, email [email protected], or call Becky on 07746728430.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

Please check our Google Reviews to speak for us: "We were really pleased with their quote, communication, and with having the job done perfectly with almost zero disruption. We think they left the space cleaner than when they arrived, and we are definitely already getting the effects of a warmer room" – Miriam & Abed, Sevenoaks, Oct 2025 "Laurence and his team were extremely polite & helpful, and the work was performed over just 2 days with minimal disruption. It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!
