Half Term Activities and Events at The Higgins Bedford

This May half-term The Higgins Bedford will be celebrating National Children's Gardening Week with family-friendly activities and workshops. All of the fun is inspired by the current exhibition, Round and Round the Garden - A Celebration of Horticulture in Art.

National Children's Gardening Week is a great chance to get the kids out this half-term, trying something new, and getting creative.

There are a number of different workshops on offer, sponsored by Polam School. For the first time, The Higgins Bedford is offering holiday activities for teenagers, and they can take part without needing to bring an adult with them.
