holiday club 2026
26th-29th October
registration open now!
let’s light it up!
This October half term it’s time for our Holiday Club again, and this year we’re turning up the brightness at the Illumination Station to blast away the autumn blues as we play, craft, sing and look at the life of Jesus to find who he really is!
From Monday to Thursday we’ve got a jam-packed programme of fun and adventure for children in Reception up to Year 6, with a live band and our friends from Shady Oaks Baptist Church in Texas flying over to help out again.
The week culminates after pickup on Thursday afternoon in our Illumination Celebration, where we’ll come together with our families to recap the week, hand out prizes and wash down all we’ve learned with party food (and maybe some Texan sweets)!
