Since 2004 during the first week of the school summer holidays the Leominster Priory Holiday Club has provided an incredible week of fun and activities for 100 primary school age children. The children are split into four age-based groups for the five days, each group having a tailor-made fun packed age appropriate programme of activities, including art, drama, craft, music, dance and outside games, from 9.30 till 3pm. The price includes all activities, drinks, fruit and an event T-shirt for everyone.
We had an incredible week of fun with 94 children at this year’s Holiday Club. In addition to seeing dramatised Bible stories and doing various crafts related to those stories, the children enjoyed visits from Longtown Mountain Rescue our Community Police Officers, tried their hand at bell ringing and Morris dancing visited the Library and held some rather exotic animals and met a walking and roaring dinosaur. It was a fantastic week but none of this could happen without any army of wonderful volunteers – from people not only working with the children, but also in the kitchen and stewarding. So, a huge thank you to everyone who helped ... including those who helped us put the church back together again on the Friday afternoon.
