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.
